Vitamin B12 is not produced by our bodies; it is obtained from food in our diet. An individual becomes deficient when they are not consuming enough vitamin B12-rich foods or are unable to absorb sufficient vitamin B12.
Vitamin B12 is mainly found in animal-based foods, milk, eggs, and dairy products. Those following a vegan or strict plant-based diet are more likely to suffer from vitamin B12 deficiency.
