The National Institutes of Health recommend the following daily dosage of vitamin B12: Birth to 6 months: 0.4 micrograms Infants 712 months: 0.5 micrograms Children 13 years: 0.9 micrograms Children 48 years: 1.2 micrograms Children 913 years: 1.8 micrograms Teens 1418 years: 2.4 micrograms Adult men and women 1850 years: 2.4 micrograms Adult men and women over 50 years: 25250 micrograms Women who are pregnant: 2.6 micrograms Women who are breastfeeding: 2.8 micrograms Adults over the age of 50 are at a greater risk of vitamin B12 deficiency because they tend to produce less stomach acid, which is needed to convert the vitamin properly

One reason: Changes in stomach acid can be part of aging, and you need hydrochloric acid in your stomach to absorb B12

Any disruption along this pathway can lead to deficiency regardless of dietary intake, which is why some patients need supplementation even when they eat B12-rich foods
