I know some soy milk and cereals are fortified with B12, and that you can also take supplements. Anybody know where the B12 in fortified things comes from? Animal source? Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 As I have a known B12-deficiency I take a supplement. B12 is synthesized by bacteria, the only true source of B12 vitamins. There's an informative article about B12 on Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B12 for more info. I think it's important to take a B12-supplement, especially if you are vegan, as it's not easy to get the amount we need from food. I've been a vegetarian for more than 20 years now and my B12-deficiency was discovered two years ago. I've never been anemic but I got neurological symptoms and they can be more difficult to reverse than an anemia and more difficult (for doctors) to realize that it's a result of B12-deficiency. /Helga , Audrey Snyder <AudeeBird wrote: > > How do you get B12?

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Pam, which liquid B12 do you take? There are SO many vitamin products now that it's way confusing trying to figure out which is best.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I use Red Star Nutritional Yeast, and it has B12 (133% daily value) and other B vitamins. I don't think all Nutritional Yeast has B12, so check the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
