Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is primarily found in animal products. Here are some foods that are good sources of vitamin B12:
Meat: Beef, pork, lamb, and other meats are rich in vitamin B12.
Poultry: Chicken, turkey, duck, and other poultry products are good sources.
Fish: Salmon, trout, tuna, sardines, mackerel, and other fatty fish are excellent sources.
Shellfish: Clams, oysters, mussels, crab, and lobster are high in vitamin B12.
Eggs: Both the yolk and white contain some vitamin B12, but the yolk is a more concentrated source.
Dairy Products: Milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products contain vitamin B12, though the amount can vary.
Fortified Foods: Some plant-based foods such as breakfast cereals, plant-based milk alternatives (like soy milk, almond milk, or coconut milk), and nutritional yeast are fortified with vitamin B12.
If you're following a vegetarian or vegan diet, it's important to ensure you're getting enough vitamin B12 through fortified foods or supplements, as it is mainly found in animal-derived products.
