 The results of this study suggest that Spanish vegetarians have high folate levels, but also show evidence of subclinical vitamin B12 deficiency. This is due to the fact that the diets of these individuals do not provide sufficient amounts of animal-derived sources of vitamin B12, such as meat and dairy products. Additionally, the study found that consumption of vitamin B12 supplements can improve vitamin B12 status while consumption of certain foods may reduce the risk of heart behemoth cystinemia.
