El cuerpo humano almacena el equivalente a varios años de vitamina B12, por lo que la deficiencia nutricional de esta vitamina es extremadamente rara. Sin embargo, las personas que siguen una dieta estrictamente vegetariana y no consumen huevos ni productos lácteos pueden requerir suplementos de dicha vitamina.
