Do Vegans Need B12 Supplement

Do vegans need to take vitamin supplements?

How else could a vegan get the necessary vitamin B12. If they do need to take supplimental vitamins why do some vegans claim this is such a natural diet?

Vegans do need to make certain that they have a source of B12 in their diets. But in North America, commercially produced soymilk is enriched to mimic the nutrition profile of milk, which itself is enriched before being available commercially. As well, many food products made for vegetarians and vegans is enriched as well.

Vitamin B12 is one that is both stored and reused within the body. Only a tiny, tiny amount is lost on a daily basis. Someone who has been either an omnivore or a vegetarian and becomes a vegan has a store of B12 that is good for about 5 years. But it’s also very, very easy to supplement such stores by diet alone.

There are medical problems that can cause a B12 absorption problem, but these are not the consequence of a vegan diet. Pernicious anemia is one. So is the surgical loss of part or all of the stomach.

Why do some vegans claim that theirs is a natural diet? Well, you did say some. That’s their personal belief. It doesn’t correspond with any of the reasons that I became a vegan, so I ddon’t say that a vegan diet is a natural one. A much, much healthier one, yes, but I don’t claim it to be a natural one. Not with the media saturation that says otherwise.
