Vitamin B12 Rich Foods List

 

 

 

Vitamin B12 (cobalamine) is responsible, together with vitamin B6 and folic acid, for the formation of blood and for a healthy nervous system.

 

Although minuscule amounts of B12 are required, this vitamin plays a vital role in preventing and curing some types of anaemia. In severe deficiencies the nervous system is also affected.

 

The RNI* for Vitamin B12 is up to 1.5mcg per day for an average adult (not including pregnant or lactating women).

Consult your doctor before increasing intake of any nutrient or changing your diet in any way!

What if you're not getting vitamin B12 from rich foods?

Anaemia, a disorder of the red blood cells, may result from a B12 deficiency.

Who Needs Vitamin B12?

The elderly, some vegetarians and vegans, and those with intestinal disease, should take B12 supplements together with calcium to aid absorption. Heavy drinkers and smokers, pregnant and breast-feeding women may also require supplementation.

RNI* = REFERENCE NUTRIENT INTAKE - a UK dietary reference value!

It means an amount of a nutrient that is enough for almost every individual, even someone who has high needs for the nutrient. This level of intake is, therefore, considerably higher than most people need. If individuals are consuming the RNI of a nutrient, they are most unlikely to be deficient in that nutrient.
