Food Sources of Vitamin B12 Information About Vitamin B12 You need vitamin B12 to form DNA, make healthy blood cells and keep nerves working properly. Low levels of vitamin B12 can cause pernicious anemia. Vegetarians who eat no animal products and the elderly who absorb less vitamin B12 are most at risk. Vitamin B12 is found only in animal foods and fortified foods. People who avoid all animal products should look for meat alternatives, such as soy products fortified with vitamin B12. Ten to thirty percent of older people may not absorb vitamin B12 well. Health Canada advises adults over 50 years to consume foods fortified with vitamin B12 or a supplement containing vitamin B12. How Much Vitamin B12 Should I Aim For? Age in years Aim for an intake of micrograms (mcg)/day Stay below Men and Women 19 and older Pregnant Women 19 and older Breastfeeding Women 19 and older 2.4 An upper limit for vitamin B12 has not been established. 2.6 2.8 PAGE 1
