Hi Yula and welcome to EmpowHer!
You seem to be asking a couple of questions, so let me see if I can help you.
First, you said you remember to take a Vitamin B12 supplement about once a week, and need help to remember to take it more often. One of the easiest ways to do that is to use a pill container as a reminder. These are typically plastic containers with labeled slots for each day of the week, and available at most drug stores. You simply fill the container with a week's supply of your pill, place the container in a place where you will see it every day so it reminds you to look to see if you've taken the pill, and it helps you keep a regular schedule.
You may also be wondering if there are foods you can eat to get Vitamin B12. According to the Mayo Clinic, a day's supply of vitamin B12 can be obtained by eating 1 chicken breast plus 1 hard-boiled egg plus 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt, or 1 cup milk plus 1 cup raisin bran.
