Will lift your spirits and restore strength: doctors told us which foods to get vitamin B12 from

Which foods contain the most vitamins?

Experts warn that a lack of vitamin B12 can lead to low hemoglobin, poor mood and decreased energy. But in order to restore its content in the body, you will have to sweat, Argumenty i Fakty reports. Very few foods contain B12. In addition, it is difficult for our body to absorb it.

“When a nutrient enters the body, it binds to a special enzyme—Castle’s internal factor,” explained nutritionist Tagui Avetova. — It ensures the absorption of the vitamin from the intestines into the blood. If a person has diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, inflammatory processes, or acidity disorders, then vitamin B12 will not be fully absorbed by the body, which will lead to its deficiency. Also at risk are: vegetarians, pregnant and lactating women, small children, and adherents of strict diets.”

To restore B12 levels in the body, you need to eat foods high in it. And these are mainly products of animal origin, such as beef and chicken liver, mackerel, herring, beef, eggs and cottage cheese.

The approximate daily requirement of the vitamin for an adult is 2.4 mcg. For children under 3 years old – 0.9. Pregnant women need the most vitamin B12 – up to 2.6.
