Vegan – B12 Sources

B12 is one of the most important vitamins for day to day functioning of the body because it helps regulate the nervous system meaning a severe deficiency can lead to blindness, deafness and dementia to name but a few.

Vegans are regularly mentioned when it comes to B12 deficiency, but the fact of the matter is that many meat eaters are deficient in B12. It is claimed that 39% of Americans are in fact at least mildly deficient in B12 and only 3% of Americans are vegan and 5% are vegetarian, therefore many non vegans/vegetarians are in fact also deficient. 

To help make sure you get enough B12 in your Vegan diet (or non vegan) please see the list compiled below for sources of B12

• B12 Supplements
• Breakfast Cereals (fortified)
• Nutritional Yeast
• Nori (sushi paper)
• Soy Milk (fortified)
• Shitake Mushrooms

Hopefully this list helps you get enough B12 in your diet.
