The Claim
Essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, carnosine, taurine, DHA, and EPA are exclusively or predominantly present in animal tissues and are either absent or not bioavailable in plant-based sources.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Your body needs certain important nutrients like B12, taurine, and omega-3s, and these are mostly or only found in animal foods like meat and fish — you can't really get them from plants.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Bioavailability of vitamin B12 in cows' milk
The study shows that vitamin B12 from cow's milk is well absorbed by the body, more than the kind in pills. This supports the idea that animal foods are a good source of usable B12.
