Is vitamin B12 high in any fruit?

 There is a fruit that I think is vastly underappreciated compared to the fruits of Apples, Bananas, Mangoes, and so on.

It only contains vitamins and minerals not found in any other fruit, though.

This fruit is an excellent source of vitamins, especially vitamin B12.

This is the fruit that those with the least access to other foods were forced to subsist on, but they became the most powerful countries to ever exist.

In Islam, dates are not only good for the body but also for the mind.

I regard myself as a propagator of having date fruits every day, and I would inform you that it would be ten times more beneficial than your morning tea, coffee, or any other supplement you have.

Besides having Vitamin B-12, this fruit has numerous other advantages.

Just like in cases of constipation, Alzheimer's disease, and even certain types of cancer in the body.

It is now your decision whether this fruit should be included in your diet or not

Why is vitamin B12 so dangerous?

 Vitamin B12, like any other vitamin, is necessary for your body.

Most people suggest—I do, too—to have enough vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12.

But, everything in life has pros and cons. Vitamin B12 is no different.

But, before that, what is vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning it needs to be consumed more than fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).

Why? Because, unlike fat-soluble vitamins, water-soluble vitamins aren’t stored in significant amounts in the body.

Usually, the excess is excreted through urine every day.

Therefore, you need to consume it daily.

Sounds great, right?

So, how does vitamin B12 harm you?

Well, vitamin B12 becomes dangerous (creates side effects) when you consume it in excessive dosage.

Excessive consumption/dosage of the vitamin will cause a few things, which are:

• Skin rash, rosacea, and acne
• Headaches, fatigue, and cramps
• Nausea and diarrhea
• Irregular heart rhythms

Those are the side effects of consuming too much vitamin B12.

But, after reading those, is it actually dangerous?

The good news is, that excessive consumption of vitamin B12 is so rare.

Therefore, these side effects rarely happen.

Why? Because—once again—, the excess of water-soluble vitamins are excreted through urine.

But, it doesn’t stop there.

According to one study, after studying the potential side effects of taking high doses of vitamin B12 for up to 5 years, it showed that there weren’t any patterns of harm and side effects.

This shows how rare it is.

Yes, it is very possible to have headaches, nausea, and acne. But, it is rare and it isn’t life-threatening.

But, can it be dangerous for certain people?

Yes.

Usually, the manifesting side effects are an indicative sign of kidney dysfunction or liver diseases as the body doesn't process and secrete the excess vitamin properly.

So, high dosages of vitamin B12 are dangerous for people who have kidney dysfunction, such as people who have diabetic nephropathy (diabetes that leads to loss of kidney functioning).

But, if you have normal functioning kidneys, you shouldn’t be worried about vitamin B12 excessive consumption.

Instead, you should worry about vitamin B12 deficiency more.

Vitamin B12 plays a huge role in your body. There are so many things that vitamin B12 does.

It creates red blood cells, maintains nerve cells for nerve functioning, metabolizes cells, helps with immune functioning, anemia prevention, and even converts food into energy.

So, vitamin B12 can lead to neurological issues (such as depression and mood changes), anemia, and even birth defects (for pregnant people).

Which is best source of vitamin B12?

 The foods containing vitamin B12 are primarily animal meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. Vegetarians, people

who are pregnant or nursing, and others who are at risk of deficiency may need to take supplements.
