Apollo Hospital doctor, Dr Anshuman Kaushal has debunked the long running claim that Vitamin B12 is “non vegetarian,” explaining in a viral video that the nutrient is actually produced by bacteria, not animals or plants. He highlights that modern sanitation has reduced natural B12 exposure, leading to higher deficiency rates, especially among vegans and vegetarians. Dr Kaushal urges reliance on science, noting that supplements and fortified foods remain essential for adequate B12 intake.
