There is no reliable naturally-occurring source of B12 on a plant-based diet and it is well-established that those not eating animal products must supplement this vitamin. But how much should you supplement? Why do supplements tend to have very high doses of the vitamin? Is this safe?
And if a whole foods, plant based diet is the healthiest and most natural, why do we need to supplement B12 in the first place?
Today we're going to be examining this key nutrient in detail, including:
Considerations for testing B12 status
It's use in the body and how other nutrients interact with it, and what these things mean if you're eating healthy
What form and dose you should take - including some new data suggesting that the usual dosing is perhaps not as safe as we once thought
Lastly, we'll briefly touch on WHY this nutrient is not obtainable on a whole foods, plant-based diet - and if the diet itself is really to blame.
