Vitamin B12 is a nutrient found naturally in animal products such as meat, fish, and eggs. The nutrient is perhaps best known for its relationship with pernicious anemia, a form of anemia caused by B12 deficiency, which is caused by impaired absorption of B12 from the gut.

For some time, there has been specific interest in the role B12 plays in brain function. In particular, B12 deficiency is believed to play a potential role in declining brain function (cognitive impairment) often seen in aging.

In the past year, three landmark clinical trials have shown that a daily dose of the antiretroviral medication Truvada can protect individuals from infection with H.I.V. — a significant discovery, given the failure so far of all efforts to develop a vaccine against the virus.

Now researchers in San Francisco and Miami are planning to test this prevention strategy, called pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, in a pilot study supported by the National Institutes of Health.
