Vitamin B12: Why it is especially important for cannabis users

Vitamin B12 —also known as cobalamin—is one of the most important vitamins for energy, the nervous system, and mental clarity. But cannabis users, in particular, are at risk for deficiency. Find out why in this blog, along with solutions like MANGO+ —Canasups' innovative vitamin formula.
What is vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin from the B vitamin group. It is involved in cell division, blood formation, and the formation of myelin sheaths—the protective coverings of our nerves. A deficiency can have serious consequences and is often only detected late.
The body cannot produce B12 itself, so it must be obtained through food or supplements – especially important for vegans, the elderly, and... yes, even for many cannabis enthusiasts.
Functions & effects in the body
Vitamin B12 performs several key functions:
- Nerve function: formation of myelin for stimulus transmission
- Energy production: activation of enzymes in the citric acid cycle
- Blood formation: involvement in DNA synthesis
- Mood & Focus: Influence on Serotonin & Dopamine Regulation
A deficiency often manifests itself in fatigue, lack of concentration, irritability, or numbness—symptoms that are unfortunately often confused with a cannabis hangover. The cause, however, lies deeper: in the vitamin balance.
B12 deficiency due to cannabis consumption?
Studies suggest that regular cannabis use can affect B12 metabolism. Possible mechanisms include:
- Altered appetite: Cannabis changes eating habits – B12-rich foods are often missing.
- Gastric mucosal irritation: THC can interfere with long-term absorption because it impairs the intrinsic factor.
- Liver function: A detoxification system overwhelmed by cannabis can slow vitamin transport.
A chronically deficient B12 base can actually be indirectly caused by cannabis use. Time to take countermeasures!
Sources & Supplements
Natural sources of vitamin B12 are:
- Liver, meat, fish, eggs
- Dairy products
- Fortified vegan foods (e.g. soy milk, cornflakes)
However, many of these edibles aren't consumed regularly by cannabis enthusiasts—whether for ethical, health, or habitual reasons. Therefore, supplements are often a better choice—ideally with an active form of methylcobalamin.

FAQ about vitamin B12
How do I know if I have a B12 deficiency?
Fatigue, tingling in hands/feet, mood swings, difficulty concentrating – and: impaired high.
How much B12 do I need daily?
Recommended intake: approximately 3–5 µg. In cases of deficiency or veganism, significantly more is often needed.
Is too much B12 harmful?
Hardly any effect – excess B12 is excreted. Side effects are very rare.
Why does my brain need B12?
Because without B12, functioning nerves and a fast flow of information are not possible – like Wi-Fi without a router.
What is the difference to B6 or B9?
All three are important, but have different effects: B6 for nerves, B9 for cell division, B12 for energy and mood.
