30% of the population is thought to be deficient in Vitamin B12? What is it?

Vitamin B12 is an interesting element of nutrition that is talked about a lot.

30% of the population is thought to be deficient in B12.  Many diets, such as those based on cheap, highly processed foods, low-quality meats, or strict vegan are low in this vitamin.

Why is it important?

B12 is stored in the liver so our bodies can cope upto a couple of years without it. That is when symptoms such as fatigue, memory and motor skills will start to show signs.
