[|AI|]  Hi, Yes, it is highly recommended for vegetarians. Since the main sources of vitamin B-12 are found in the foods of animal origin like meat or poultry hence strict vegetarians or those on poor diets are more prone to develop the deficiency of vitamin-B12. Mecobalamin is a form of vitamin-B12 is commonly prescribed to treat vitamin-B12 deficiency, it is safe, so it may be taken to correct the anemia. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
