Ep. 79 | Should Vegans, Vegetarians and Plant-Based Eaters Take Vitamin B12?
Dec 03, 2024
Are you wanting to make a lifestyle change but don’t know where to get the nutrients you need if you eat plant-based? There are so many vitamins out there, like vitamin D, C, B12, A, K, E and minerals like calcium, iron, phosphorus and zinc. Do you need supplements for them or can you get them from food?
The problem is… there’s so much information and conflicting advice on the Internet, that’s it’s impossible not to feel lost and confused. You want to eat right – but why does it seem so hard?!
If that’s how you’re feeling, I want to help. In this episode, let’s take one of these nutrients of concern - vitamin B12 – and break it down. Let’s look to see if this is a nutrient you’ll need to be mindful of, and whether just getting it through food sources would suffice. So, if you’re looking for answers and clear nutrition guidance, listen in!
