B12 vitamin absorbs so badly (and even worse the older the person is) that it is recommended to get around 1000% of the normal adult's needs in case of a deficiency. Human bodies can't form B12 on their own, and it is found naturally only in meat and eggs. Which is why pharmacies sell 1-1,3mg B12 pills for older people, and 0,5mg pills for young vegans. It would take unhealthy amount of energy drinks daily to get the same B12 amount.

For vegans it makes sense to keep eating B12 supplements with folic acid (another thing not in vegan food). B12 deficiency causes weird tiredness and also memory problems.
