Vegans are at the greatest risk for a vitamin B-12 deficiency as this vitamin is primarily found in animal products. If they do not consume adequate amounts of fortified foods or supplements, they may become deficient. Pregnant women, adolescents, and young adults with type 1 diabetes may also be at risk for a deficiency, but not as much as vegans.
