Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 How does one get enough B12? 1 - chewable B12 tablet with strawberry taste (easily broken apart by child's chewing) 2 - tasty nutritional yeast 3- supplemented foods I'd say, all three, but I'd PREFER the strawberry-flavored tablets (as from The Vitamin Shoppe) because (1) we know how much we're getting, (2) they're CHEAP, and (3) the delivery system is pleasant.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 My husband feels very strongly about the children getting all their nutritional needs met through eating a healthy variety of natural foods. He doesn't like giving them " supplements. " I've studied so much to make sure that I do but it still makes me uneasy sometimes. Now I feel a little nervous again. Do most of you give your children supplements? I had my two ten year olds out on a long walk the day before yesterday getting our Vitamin D from sunshine and it was about 18 degrees! I think the only exposed skin on all of us was our faces. Sunshine - Maynard S.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 We do not as yet give our daughter any supplements. However, she is vegetarian, not vegan. I dont know if that makes a difference. Anyway, when my husband first became vegan, he spent one week where he wrote down every single thing that he ate and how much calories, protein, vitamins, etc that everything had. There was only one day that he was low on one vitamin. Every other day, he exceeded all of the rda's. You could do the same for your child if you are concerned. I also recomend getting a nutrition book. If you are unsure about any particular vitamins you can look up what foods are high in that vitamin. Also, as far as B-12, which a lot of people worry about, a lot of cereals are fortified with it - thats where my husband gets most of his. Hope this helps. , " Carol McClure " <sunshine33@q...> wrote: > My husband feels very strongly about the children getting all their nutritional needs met through eating a healthy variety of natural foods.
