Vitamin B-12 that humans can digest can only be found in meats or foods fortified with B-12 (like breakfast cereals). Clams, mollusks and liver have the most B-12.

Some vegetables, like soy, also have B-12 in them. However, they are not in a form that humans can digest.

You can also find B-12 in oral supplements such as vitamin pills and sublingual drops, as well as injections and transdermal patches. For people with digestive issues, certain medical conditions or who have had stomach surgery this is the only possible source of B-12. Vitamin B-12 transdermal patches are the easiest, least expensive way of getting B-12 into the body in a form the body can immediately use (methylcobalamin, rather than cobalamin or cyanocobalamin).
