Vitamin B12 Recommended Intake
For those who are not at risk of vitamin B12 deficiencies, having a healthy and balanced diet is enough to meet nutritional needs. Foods to eat include nutritional yeast, fortified cereals, yogurt, milk, seafood, poultry, red meat, and eggs. Vegans, breastfeeding or pregnant women, people on drugs that affect B12 absorption, and those with a disorder that increases the need for this vitamin should take supplements. In general, a megadose of up to 2,000 mcg is basically safe for treating a deficiency of vitamin B12. Make sure to consult your healthcare provider before deciding to take any supplements. [4]
