Foods richest in Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential vitamin found in animal sources such as liver, eggs, dairy products, and some types of seafood. It is a water-soluble vitamin that is important for many functions in the human body, such as brain and nervous system functioning, red blood cell formation, and energy metabolism. The body cannot produce vitamin B12 on its own, so it must be obtained through dietary sources. It is recommended to consume 2.4 micrograms of it daily for adults age 14 and older. Deficiency of this vitamin can result in a variety of symptoms, such as fatigue, confusion, anemia, and nerve damage.
