When you follow a vegan diet, you might not be getting enough Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is not synthesized by your body, you can only get it from animal sources, including dairy, eggs, fish meat and poultry, or fortified foods. With age, it becomes harder for us to absorb this vitamin, so a supplement may become necessary.
If you think you may be B12 deficient, don’t self medicate. Get in touch with Doctor Ziya so she can give you a full evaluation and let you know the best way to proceed.
