Yes it is available in meat. But if a person is deficient sometimes diet isn't enough to get them up to where they need to be. I had B12 anemia at an earlier time and was treated with supplements and then I didn't need them after a few months. Nutrition-trained chiros do blood work too ya' know, to find such things. But they look at the blood work differently. They going for optimum health not just lack of pathology. They go to school just as long as doctors. Doctors are woefully uneducated on nutrition.
Just one more thing, I was put on thyroid medication by a doctor at age 16 when four years another doctor was appalled by the decision whereby I was taken off. It used to keep me up all night. Medical doctors make mistakes and get sued too.
