10 Foods High in Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 Rich Food #8: Milk and Milk Products
One cup of unfortified, whole or skimmed milk contains 4.16 micrograms of vitamin B12. This means that by drinking one cup of milk, you get enough cobalamin for the day. Yoghurt and cheese contain similar amounts. Vitamin B12 from dairy is more readily absorbed into the body. According to some studies, your body accesses vitamin B12 from milk and other dairy products better than from sources like beef, eggs and fish. In addition to cobalamin, milk contains other vitamins including A, B1, B2, D and choline.
Other nutrients in milk and yoghurt include protein, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium. Milk from pasture-fed animals is also a good source of vitamin K2.
