It is essential for the production of red blood corpuscles and the functioning of the nervous system. It is only present in foods of animal origin, and more particularly in liver, egg yolks, meat, fish, cheese and milk. Skimmed UHT milk contains 0.22-ľg/100 g of vitamin B12. The recommended daily intake is 1 to 2.5 ľg/day for children, adolescents and adults, and 2.6 to 2.8 ľg/day for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
