With modern diet, vegan or otherwise, it’s just good sense to take a multivitamin everyday. The difference between the daily dose and the deadly dose is night and day, so it can’t harm.
its kinda funny but I was doing this rabbit hole search to see if I could identify a minimum of foods that are shelf stable and have everything you need. omega3’s and vitamin C become sorta hard without just using a supplement and if your doing vitamin C supplement you might as well do a multivatamin which covers a lot of bases and lets you have just a few other things.
Right. It’s also cheaper to get a multivitamin than to have a dozen different pills. Also easier to swallow for most without the skill.
I like putting nooch on a lot of stuff so it’s harder for me to avoid getting too much of it than too little.
Yeast by itself has no B12. You must be getting the fortified stuff.
Yeah, it’s Bragg brand.
we need to put it in the drinking water. :)
There are toothpastes with B12, that makes it very easy to not forget and my blood levels seem fine since over 2 years :)
We are vegan and our B12 was actually too high when we last got checked out at the doctor, lol.
Same here ! last check was low on iron but high on B12 ! Doctor said it wasn’t too high so it’s ok, but I’m actually pretty stoked when I tell my uncle who loves to barbecue that I have too much B12 and that I don’t take supplements
Heck yeah!
A friend of mine was asked by his doctor if he was vegan cause he had a B12 deficiency.
Nope, he eats meat every day. But he also drinks too much beer.Ah, yeah. That probably wouldn’t help. We don’t drink alcohol, so we don’t have a problem with it.
I take a b12 sublingual lozenge because I’m on a medication (metformin) that interferes with absorbing b12 through the gut.
I was apparently already wicked low on b12 when I started metformin because I got weird nerve symptoms almost immediately. Those symptoms resolved almost instantly when I started taking the b12. Two days later I was able to see my doctor, who told me I did the right thing.
