Many people don’t consume enough Vitamin B12 in their diet, particularly vegetarians and vegans due to B12 being found naturally in animal products such as meat, fish, milk, and eggs. Even if you do consume these foods, you can still benefit from B12 injections. B12 levels can decrease with age as well as being lower in people who have undergone weight loss surgery or suffer from Pernicious Anaemia, Crohn’s or Celiac disease. Or sometimes people just don’t absorb it very well.
