Vitamin B12 supplements are often touted as boosting energy levels and mood, but there is more research needed in this area. However, vitamin B12 is highly important for our bodies as it helps keep our nerves and brain healthy, make healthy blood cells, and is need to form DNA. If you don’t get enough vitamin B12, it can cause tingling and numbness in fingers and toes, or you may feel tired or confused. People most at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency are adults over 50, individuals with pernicious anemia, individuals with gastrointestinal disorders, individuals who have had gastrointestinal surgery, and vegetarians.
For optimal health, adults need 2.4 mcg per day, women who are pregnant need 2.6 mc per day and breastfeeding women should get 2.8 mcg per day. Eating foods containing vitamin B12 is important for a healthy lifestyle. The following are good sources of vitamin B12:
- Chicken
- Beef
- Fish
- Dairy foods
- Eggs
- Fortified foods such as cereal, non-dairy milk, and soy products
A healthy adult, for example, can reach the recommended 2.4 mcg per day by eating 1 egg, 1 cup of milk, and 1 3-ounce chicken breast. On a vegan diet, the daily recommendations can be met through eating 1 soy burger and 1 cup of almond milk. If you fall into a group at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency or are diagnosed with a deficiency of B12 you may need to also take a vitamin B12 supplement and/or receive vitamin B12 injections.
