Is my vitamin b12 deficiency from my change in diet?
Yes it's most likely from your diet. Vitamin B12 is a water-soluable vitamin that comes mainly from animal sources: meat, poultry, and dairy. It can also be found in fish like salmon or sardines, and eggs, or certain soy or fortified cereals. Almond, soy, or coconut milk are also fortified with B12. There are also vegan supplements. Some people may have diseases with problems absorbing B12 and for them, we would recommend supplementation with B12 injections. Since yours is only slightly low, try to add the other foods to your diet. I hope that helps. READ MORE
