The Office of Dietary Supplements advises that it's best for healthy adult men and women to fulfill their daily requirement of vitamin B-12 with a varied diet that includes dairy products, eggs, vitamin-fortified cereals, seafood, poultry and lean meat.
However, some people, including the elderly, vegans, strict vegetarians and individuals suffering from digestive disorders like Crohn's disease or celiac disease, may need to supplement with vitamin B-12 in order to consistently reach their recommended intake. Before taking vitamin B-12 supplements, talk to your doctor about the appropriate dosage level. Recommended Daily Allowance According to the Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board, adult men and women over 19 years old should consume 2.4 micrograms of vitamin B-12 each day. Pregnant and nursing women need slightly more. During pregnancy, a woman's RDA is 2.6 micrograms; while she is nursing, her requirement is 2.8 micrograms. Tolerable Upper Intake Level The Food and Nutrition Board has not set a tolerable upper intake level, or UL, for vitamin B-12. A nutrient's UL is the maximum amount you can consume daily without experiencing potentially harmful side effects. The Linus Pauling Institute says vitamin B-12 has no UL because there are no known side effects linked to its use.
Supplementation The Linus Pauling Institute advises that vegans, strict vegetarians and women who plan to become pregnant should take a daily supplement or multivitamin that contains between 6 to 30 micrograms of the vitamin daily, and that men and women over 50 years old should take between 100 to 400 micrograms each day. Scientists have given test subjects as much as 1 milligram of vitamin B-12 daily without adverse side effects, but there isn't enough evidence to support the use of doses as high as 500 milligrams. Possible Drug Interactions Vitamin B-12 supplements can interfere with the the proper function of some medications. These include antibiotics such as tetracycline, anti-seizure drugs like phenobarbital, certain cholesterol-lowering drugs, metformin, methotrexate and stomach acid reducers like proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers. If your doctor advises you to take vitamin B-12 supplements, be sure to tell her about all of the medications and dietary supplements you are currently taking.
