Red meat is a good source of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that helps make red blood cells and maintain the nervous system. A diet that lacks enough B12 can lead to anemia, a condition caused by an inadequate supply of oxygen-rich red blood cells.Red meat is one of the best food sources of vitamin B12, but supplements also can supply this important vitamin.f you're not a fan of liver, a double-patty cheeseburger contains 35 percent of the daily value, 3 ounces of top sirloin beef has 23 percent, a soft beef taco contains 15 percent and a 3-ounce serving of ham supplies 10 percent of the daily value. Eating red meat of any kind gives your body some vitamin B12.
This test measures the levels of vitamin B12 and folate in your blood. Your body needs vitamin B12, also called cobalamin, and folate, also called folic acid, to function normally. Both nutrients play important roles in creating red blood cells and making DNA and RNA to help build cells. B12 also helps your nervous system function as it should. B12 is found in fortified cereals and animal products like fish, meat, eggs, and dairy. It's also in dietary supplements, as cyanocobalamin. Folate is found naturally in green leafy vegetables, fruits, and beans, and it's added to enriched cereals and grains. People who have pernicious anemia may have low B12 levels because this condition prevents them from absorbing B12.
