Vitamin B12 is vital for cellular energy production and is also important for healthy red blood cell formation and helping to maintain nervous system health and a healthy homocysteine level. Certain individuals, including vegetarians, vegans and older adults may benefit from supplemental vitamin B12. What is vitamin B12 and what does it do?Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement and a prescription medication. Vitamin B12 has an established role in cellular energy production, a complex cellular process. Vitamin B12 functions as a required coenzyme in the metabolism of protein and fat, ultimately leading to cellular energy release in the form of ATP. Vitamin B12 is also required for proper DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation and nervous system function, and is associated with the maintenance of healthy homocysteine levels. Who should take vitamin B12 and why?Vegetarians and vegans are especially at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency due to the lack of animal-derived foods in their diet, therefore a vitamin B12 supplement is a prudent measure to help address this nutrient gap, if it exists. Others at risk for deficiency include adults over the age of 50, individuals with reduced stomach acid, regular antacid users, and individuals who have undergone weight loss surgery or with intestinal malabsorption. Individuals at risk for deficiency can have their healthcare provider assess pertinent biomarkers to ascertain their vitamin B12 status.What foods provide vitamin B12?Vitamin B12 is naturally found in animal products, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products, which is why vegetarians and vegans are at greater risk of not meeting recommended levels of vitamin B12 in their diet. It is generally not present in plant foods, but fortified breakfast cereals provide a non-food-bound source of vitamin B12 with high bioavailability for vegetarians, vegans, older adults with inadequate stomach acid, or those who regularly utilize antacids.
