Vegetarians and MeB-12

Vegetarians may find it wise to supplement their diet with methylcobalamin (MeB 12) which is form of the B-12 vitamin.  Indeed, this vitamin is found heavily in red meats and most animal sources but there are no known sources of this vitamin in vegetables.  Vitamin B-12 is a key dietary supplement because it helps to support nerve and red blood cell health.  Methylcobalamin is the predominant form of B-12 in the body and is instrumental in breaking down homocysteine into the benign amino acid methionine.  High levels of homocysteine are said to have a negative impact on the cardiovascular system.
