Are You at Risk for Vitamin B12 Deficiency?

• Many people are at risk for vitamin B12
  deficiency and they do not even realize it. 
• Women in their menstrual years, vegetarians,
  vegans, alcoholics, anemic and those with
  immunosuppressive disorders tend to be deficient
  in vitamin B-12. 
• Deficiency may also be caused by poor absorption
  of B-12 in the digestive track.

Are You at Risk for Vitamin B12 Deficiency?

• The body is not able to store large amounts of
  vitamin B12 because it is water-soluble like all
  B vitamins. 
• The body must therefore be supplied with a
  consistent and high quality source of B-12
  through the foods eaten or through
  supplementation. 
• Supplementation is almost always needed because
  most of us have poor diets and thus, are not
  getting enough B vitamins, particularly B-12.
