Vitamin B12 and the Pescatarian Diet
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in brain function and the production of DNA and red blood cells. It is naturally present in animal products, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products. Vitamin B12 is also available as a dietary supplement and is added to some fortified foods. For individuals following a pescatarian diet, B12 intake from fish and other seafood can be adequate, although supplementing might be necessary if intake is low.
