Hi
If you eat balanced diet, do exercise regularly, stay hydrated and take proper 7-8 hours sleep, basically disciplined lifestyle then you don't have to take any supplements.
B12 vitamin is synthesized in the gut by microbiom. So include curds, fermented foods in your diet.
So don't worry about that.
Stay active and happy.
Take care.

Hi,
You need to get the basic blood tests done with the prior consultation of doctor. Sometimes the deficiencies are met through the right intake of supplements. Consult Physician for the same. Thanks

Hello ,
The exact answer for your question is there may be 50% chances of deficient due to malabsorption or may be you don’t have any deficiency. For correct answer we need to run blood test to find out whether it is present or not then we can help you out.
Secondly other members already told you to add pluses in your diet or you can also have pulses in a salad form.
