Effect of Daily Consumption of Vitamin B12 Fortified Yoghurt on Vitamin B12 Status in Older Adults

Vitamin B 12 Deficiency Clinical Trial

Official title:
Efficacy of The Daily Consumption of Vitamin B12 Fortified Yoghurt on Vitamin B12 Status of Healthy Older Adults - A Double-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Older adults are recommended to meet their daily vitamin B12 (B12) requirements by consuming foods with added B12 and/or taking B12 supplements (i.e. sources of free B12) because of an age-related decreased digestion and absorption capacity for food-bound B12. Currently, B12 is not added to foods in Canada, except for simulated dairy and meat products. Yoghurt with added B12 is a novel dairy product that could fill a gap that presently exists in the Canadian market and has the potential to provide Canadian older adults with an alternative dietary source of B12 that could help improve their B12 status. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of the daily consumption of one serving of yoghurt fortified with B12 versus unfortified yoghurt for 8 weeks on the B12 status of healthy older adults, assessed using serum total B12. The primary hypothesis of this study was that the daily consumption of B12-fortified yoghurt would increase serum total B12 concentration of older adults compared to the consumption of unfortified yoghurts.
