Recommended Daily Intake
Adults aged 19 to 64 require about 1.5 micrograms of Vitamin B12 daily. This amount supports essential bodily functions, including red blood cell formation and nervous system maintenance.
Sources of Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is naturally present in animal products:
- Meat: Beef, pork, and lamb are rich sources.
- Fish: Salmon, trout, and tuna provide substantial amounts.
- Dairy Products: Milk, cheese, and yoghurt contain B12.
- Eggs: Particularly the yolks are beneficial.
For vegetarians, incorporating dairy and eggs can help meet B12 needs. However, vegans should consider fortified foods or supplements, as plant-based sources lack sufficient B12.
Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Risks and Symptoms
A deficiency in Vitamin B12 can lead to:
- Anaemia: Causing fatigue and weakness.
- Neurological Issues: Such as numbness, tingling, and memory problems.
- Cognitive Impairment: Including confusion and reduced understanding.
Individuals at higher risk include:
- Vegans and Strict Vegetarians: Due to the absence of animal products in their diet.

Recognising these symptoms early and seeking medical advice is essential to prevent long-term health issues.
