SaralnamaVitamin B12 supplements can be taken daily, says Dr Amit Saraf of Jupiter Hospital, Thane. B12 helps maintain nerve health, produce red blood cells, and support brain function. It prevents fatigue, weakness, and memory issues. Vegetarians and vegans may need supplements as B12 is mostly in animal products. Many get enough from diet. Those at risk of deficiency include older adults and people with absorption problems. Very high doses can cause side effects. Check B12 levels if you have persistent fatigue or numbness. A balanced diet usually meets daily needs for healthy adults. To check your B12 levels, consult a doctor for a blood test. (Updated 26 Sep 2025, 10:38 IST; source: link)
