Crystalline vitamin Bj2—which was first isolated in the Merck Research Laboratories and now is mass-produced by Merck—is in many ways the most remarkable of all vitamin discoveries. Physicians prescribe it in controlling pernicious anemia, and in the treatment of other diseases. Manufacturers of animal feeds use supplemental amounts of the vitamin in millions of tons of their products.

That vitamin Bi2 is essential in human nutrition has been repeatedly confirmed. Also, recent studies suggest that it may have the ability to

stimulate growth in children suffering from simple growth failure. These findings indicate that, in time, vitamin B i 2 may be widely used for supplementing staple foods—just as other basic Β vitamins now are added to enrich white flour and bread.

Pioneer research and commercial development of v i tamins have enabled food and feed manufacturers to bring valuable new products to their cus-t o m e r s . O t h e r M e r c k chemical cont r ibu t ions may give manufacturers in different fields the key to impor t an t p roduc t improvements or lower-cost procedures.
