B12 is a vitamin that your body uses for a variety of functions, including the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, the production of serotonin, the absorption of iron, and immune and mood functions
The NHS Inform Scotland guidance and the Vegan Societys recommendation align: a 10-microgram daily B12 supplement, or a 2,000-microgram weekly supplement, is enough for the vast majority of plant-based eaters

Other forms of vitamin B12 are very rarely found in food products and even then only in minor traces
On the other hand, heavy drinking, weight loss surgery, and removing part of the stomach are some other reasons for the slow absorption of this vitamin
