Guidance on Increasing Vitamin B12 Level
Doctor, I cannot afford a paid consultation at the moment, so I am reaching out to you again through the Free FAQ service.
Six months ago, my Vitamin B12 level was 147 pg/mL. After taking approximately six Methylcobalamin injections, my B12 level has increased to 283 pg/mL after six months.
I am a pure vegetarian. Could you please guide me on what foods I should include in my daily diet to increase my Vitamin B12 level to 300 pg/mL or higher?
I would be very grateful for your advice. I am currently unable to afford a consultation, so please help me. Thank you, Doctor.

For vegetarian diet, Curd is the best source of Vitamin B 12,
Add it to your regular diet. But no plant sources has Vitamin B12 as per RDA, suggesting you to supplement your diet with Vitamin B 12 supplement.
