Effects of Vitamin B12 deficiency include mental deterioration or dementia, heart disease or strokes. How can older adults obtain enough Vitamin B12 in the diet? Foods high in Vitamin B12 include fortified foods, especially cold cereal and foods from animal origin, such as liver, beef, eggs and dairy products. Some elderly adults cannot absorb the Vitamin B12 in foods and may need to take a Vitamin B12 dietary supplement. Stomach acid, which is needed for the absorption of Vitamin B12 in foods, is not needed for the absorption of Vitamin B12 in dietary supplements.
