Who Benefits from B12 Shots? Deficiency is widespread, especially among individuals adhering to vegetarian or vegan diets, with up to 90% experiencing a deficiency. B12, naturally found only in animal foods, poses a challenge for these dietary choices.

B12 absorption relies on intrinsic factor, a stomach-produced protein. Those lacking intrinsic factor risk deficiency. The elderly, whose absorption ability diminishes with age, are also susceptible. People with intestinal surgery history, including weight loss surgery, and those with gut-affecting diseases like Crohn’s or celiac disease are at risk.

Individuals with high-stress lives, excessive caffeine or alcohol intake may require additional B12.

Ensuring Adequate B12 through Diet: For those whose deficiency wasn't intrinsic factor-related, daily consumption of B12-rich foods can meet requirements. Examples include beef liver, clams, fish, beef, poultry, eggs, and dairy products. Vegans and vegetarians face a higher risk and may need fortified foods like cereal or enriched bread or supplements to meet B12 needs.
