3Recommended Vitamin B12 Dosage for Vegans and Vegetarians
If you are a vegan or vegetarian, the recommended dosage is quite similar to those people who have a typical diet. Nevertheless, it can be hard to meet the intake of 2.4 mcg with a plant-based diet. This is because the nutrient can be found mostly in animal products like meats and dairy products. Thus, supplements and fortified foods should be considered. There are actually no official recommendations of B12 supplements for vegans or vegetarians. Some studies have shown that 6 mcg per day might be appropriate. [3]
