Hello doctors, my level of vitamin b-12 is 237 pg/ml which is borderline. I do not want to rely on supplements or injections for the same. Please kindly suggest some homemade things or naturally available things which can help me increase the levels of b-12.

Unfortunately, plant sources of b12 are few, especially in our country. Most vegetarian sources are fortified foods. You may however consider tofu and tempeh. For vegetarians with a b12 deficiency, usually, a supplement will be required. The dose will depend on your health status as well as your b12 levels. Animal foods are rich in b12 but not advised as they have other ill effects on health.
