Our body can not make any B12 out of it's own.
Adults can have a B12 reserve of about 3000 micrograms, though an amount which can last for years (we loose about 0.05-0.2% of the storage daily) we should be aware that vegans do not restock themselves and vegetarians not enough. Depending on your lifestyle (smoking, use of medicines) your stock will be depleted in a longer or shorter period.
