Most food rich in Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that your body cannot produce on its own, so you need to get it from your diet or supplements.

Vegetarians, pregnant or lactating women, and other groups at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency may want to closely track their diets to ensure they get enough of this vitamin.

In this article, we will eat 12 foods rich in vitamin B12 to add to your food and shopping list.

What is Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 is necessary to maintain nerve health, support the production of DNA and red blood cells, as well as maintain normal brain functions.

The recommended daily intake level (RDI) for vitamin B12 is 2.4 mcg, but the level should be slightly higher for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Vitamin B12 is absorbed into the stomach with the help of a protein called the internal factor (a substance secreted by the stomach, which enables the body to absorb vitamin B12, which is a glycoprotein).

The excess vitamin B12 is stored in the body in the liver, so if you consume more than the RDI recommended daily intake the body will provide it for future use.

You may have vitamin B12 deficiency if your body does not produce enough internal factors (a substance secreted by the stomach that enables the body to absorb this vitamin, which is a glycoprotein) or if you do not eat enough foods rich in vitamin B12.

Vitamin B12 is mainly found in animal products, especially in meat and dairy products.

Fortunately for those who eat vegetarian meals (people who refrain from eating animal products even eggs), fortified foods can be a good source of this vitamin as well.

And now, dear friend, the 12 most healthy foods rich in Vitamin B12:

Animal liver and kidneys
Organ meats are some of the most nutritious foods, as the liver and kidneys, especially from pregnancy, are considered foods rich in vitamin B12.

And the 3.5 ounce serving (equivalent to 100 grams) of the liver of the pregnancy is an incredibly important source, as it supplies the body with an equivalent of 1,500% of the RDI of vitamin B12.

While the livers liver is rich in vitamin B12 more than beef or veal, the latter contains about 990% of the recommended daily intake level (RDI) per 3.5 ounces (equivalent to 100 grams).

The liver of the lamb is also very rich in copper minerals, selenium, vitamin A and vitamin B2.

Likewise, lamb kidneys, veal and beef are foods rich in vitamin B12, as they supply more than 1,300% of the RDI recommended for every 3.5 ounces (equivalent to 100 grams). These foods also supply more than 100% of the RDI level recommended for vitamin B2 and selenium.

Oysters

Oysters are small in size and packed with nutrients.

This soft food is a protein-free source and contains very high concentrations of vitamin B12. And you can get more than 3,300% of the RDI daily intake level in just 20 20 small oysters.

The oysters, especially the small oyster, in large quantities of iron, provide us with approximately 300% of the recommended daily intake level (RDI) in twenty 20 oysters.

Oysters have also been shown to be a good source of antioxidants

Interestingly, boiled oyster broth is also rich in vitamin B12. It was found that canned broth provides the body 2.7-14.1 micrograms of vitamin B12 per 3.5 ounces (100 grams).

Sardines

Sardines are marine fish that are small in size and soft in bone. Sardines are usually sold canned in water, oil, or sauces, although you can also buy them fresh.

Sardines are a very rich food because they contain virtually all nutrients in good quantities.

As one cup (150 grams) of fresh sardine extends more than twice the recommended daily intake level RDI of vitamin B12.

Moreover, sardines are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to provide many health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and improving heart health.
