Put simply, B12 deficiency is both common and underdiagnosed and the new Nice guidelines (which are still in draft form) are likely to lead to far more people being tested and treated for the condition. Might you be one of them?
Royal Society video featuring our @BBSRC funded work to effectively fortify plants with Vitamin B12 and diversify the options we have to increase B12 intake. Big collaborative project lead by @JohnInnesCentre@ant_dodd, involving @TheQuadram, @LettUsGrow, and @BristolBioSci 🤓🌱
B12 is the world's most expensive vitamin, and the scarcest one in the human body. As the world transitions to plant-based diets, B12 deficiency will rise. Finding ways to fortify food with B12 may help to keep people, as well as the planet, healthy. https://t.co/2ZDQQAYdfA
