Vitamin B-12 is abundant in meat, eggs and dairy products. Ovo-lacto vegetarians generally need not worry about their intake of this vitamin. Vegans can make sure to get it by consuming fortified foods such as nutritional yeast (delicious sprinkled on popcorn), soymilk, meat analogs (vegetarian meat substitutes) or breakfast cereals. There is some evidence that suggests that a mother's stores of B-12 may not be available to the fetus. Therefore, it is critical that your diet contain an adequate amount of this nutrient.
