which food contains vitamin b12 - #26289
I am really worried about my vitamin B12 levels. A couple of weeks ago, I felt super tired all the time, like dragging myself through each day. I couldn't figure it out, so I went to the doc and got some blood tests done. Turns out, my vitamin B12 levels were low, which kinda freaked me out! I mostly eat a vegetarian diet, but I try to include some dairy and eggs. The doc suggested I might need some supplements but also mentioned that I should look into which food contains vitamin B12. I mean, I feel like it’s a bit of a challenge for me since most B12 sources are animal-based. Are there any vegetarian or plant-based options that actually have significant amounts of vitamin B12? I heard things like fortified cereals or plant milks might help, but is that enough? I also wonder if I’m missing something in my diet. Do I need to be super careful about combining these foods? What's the best way to make sure I get enough vitamin B12? Like, can I rely on those fortified foods entirely? Or should I just bite the bullet and go for supplements? Just looking for clear and practical tips, please. Thanks!
