Vitamin b12

Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that our bodies need to stay healthy. It is a type of vitamin that is mostly found in animal products like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. Some plant-based foods like fortified cereals and nutritional yeast also contain vitamin B12. If you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, you may need to take a supplement to ensure you get enough of this important vitamin.

The production of vitamin B12 involves a process where bacteria are used to ferment various substances. These bacteria produce the vitamin as a byproduct, which can then be harvested and used in supplements or fortified foods. Sometimes, vitamin B12 is also synthetically made in a laboratory to ensure its availability for those who need it.

You may spot vitamin B12 listed on food labels because it plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy nervous system and creating red blood cells. Foods like breakfast cereals, plant-based milk, and meat substitutes are often fortified with vitamin B12 to help people meet their daily requirements. Ensuring an adequate intake of vitamin B12 is vital for overall health and energy levels.
