Clinical Protocol

7-Day Vitamin B12 Restoration Plan

A nutrient-dense protocol to restore Vitamin B12 levels, supporting energy, nerve function, and red blood cell formation.

Protocol Objectives
Animal Products

B12 is naturally found only in animal products. Clams, liver, beef, and fish are the most potent sources.

Stomach Acid

Adequate stomach acid is required to separate B12 from food protein. Avoid antacids with meals if possible.

Fortification

For vegetarians/vegans, nutritional yeast and fortified plant milks are the primary non-supplement sources.

Bioavailability

B12 from meat/fish is generally more bioavailable than from eggs.

Protocol Guidelines & Science
Absorption Issues

If dietary changes don't raise levels, consider malabsorption issues (pernicious anemia, gut inflammation). Sublingual or injectable B12 may be needed.
