Vitamin B12 is a vitamin that is predominantly found in animal products, so deficiency is particularly common for those following a vegan or vegetarian diet. Deficiency can also occur in people who do consume animal foods, as the body can struggle to absorb B12, particularly in people with digestive issues or older adults. B12 can convert an amino acid called homocysteine to methionine. Preventing high levels of homocysteine is important for health as high levels can be dangerous for the heart. B12 is also important for cognition and energy levels and vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to fatigue and poor memory, as well as neurological symptoms like tingling hands and feet. The adenosylcobalamin form of B12 is better suited for those who are more sensitive to B vitamin supplements, as it takes longer for it to be released into the body.
