Important discovery / Scientists find the solution to replace vitamin B12
Some types of algae are able to accumulate vitamin B12

The popularity of meat- and dairy-free foods in Western diets is leaving many people potentially exposed to vitamin deficiencies.

In particular, they may suffer from a deficiency of vitamin B12, a key nutrient involved in the production of blood and nerve cells.

Cambridge University scientists have highlighted an unusual solution to the problem, reports " The Guardian ".

Their experiments have shown that many types of algae, mostly aquatic organisms that lack roots or stems, show a remarkable ability to accumulate B12. 

These may soon be used by manufacturers to provide effective vitamin supplements.

Thus, vitamins for vegans, composed of algae, may soon prove to be the most effective solution to replace an important nutrient missing in plant-based diets.

Vitamin B12 is an essential micronutrient. Its deficiency causes muscle weakness, numbness, nausea, weight loss, fatigue and increased heart rate, while persistent deficiency can make people susceptible to diseases such as anemia, heart disease and diabetes./ CNA.al
