In many ways, Vitamin B12 plays a very important role in our bodies including its contribution to keeping the nervous system healthy. For our organs to fully function, they all need to maintain a harmonious relationship with one another to uphold effective communication and support health and well-being. Now this is where Vitamin B12 comes in.  

B12 is an essential water-soluble vitamin that can be found in various food sources. It is recognized as a prominent health support, typically found in liquid form, because of its rapid absorption in the body.  

When a person becomes Vitamin B12 deficient, the body may display these telltale signs: 

1. Headaches 

2. Fatigue 

3. Pale Skin 

4. Depressive Symptoms 

5. Nausea 

6. Bloating & Gas 

7. And More 

Vitamin B12 can be sourced in food which, the good news is, you may already be consuming! Here are a few of the Vitamin b12-rich foods that might already be sitting around in your kitchen. 

This is a great source of B vitamins, especially B12, and is PERFECT for vegans and vegetarians since there are a lot of vegan options.

If you are going for higher concentrations of Vitamin B12, it is better to opt for grilled, not fried, low-fat cuts of meat to preserve the B12 content. You can read more about the nutritional value of meat here.

You can enjoy either fresh or canned tuna and still get the essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals from this vitamin b12-rich saltwater fish which can be prepared in various, fun ways!

This is your classic source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and of B vitamins! Lucky for you, salmon is also a very versatile type of fish that you can consume several times a week without getting tired of it—you might even not get enough of it!

Available in several forms such as milk, cheese, butter, and yogurt. Dairy products offer significantly high doses of vitamin B12 along with other vitamins and minerals.  

Another versatile Vitamin B12-rich food that may already be sitting on your breakfast table! A study has recommended consuming whole eggs since egg yolks have a higher concentration of Vitamin B12 compared to egg whites.

As we age, our bodies may succumb to several natural changes which, in some cases, causes difficulty in absorbing Vitamin B12 from food sources.  Facing B12 deficiency is never easy, especially as you navigate through the golden years of life. 

Since Vitamin B12 is a key player in nerve and brain health, it is especially important to maintain adequate levels of the vitamin for individuals in their advanced years. For active seniors who love to do and accomplish a lot, a B12 deficiency could potentially slow down their pace. 

Liquid Vitamin B12, an extremely easy-to-use health support, is PERFECT for seniors because of this very reason. Some mature men and women may already find it difficult to swallow pills and capsules that is why it is important to choose not only what kind of health support to consume but the right form of a supplement as well. Seniors may also require a higher dosage of Vitamin B12 because of the age-related changes in the body’s absorption. 

To maintain optimal wellness no matter the age, upgrading to premium, convenience-focused supplementation is one of the significant ways to do the trick!
