What's the best formulation of B12?

[@MrUseur]

Hello Mr McDougall I am follower from Germany and I am grateful for what you are doing for a common guy like me. I learned a lot from you. Thanks.

[@brightbite]

This is important info, I get hit with this B12 argument way too often by non-vegetarians.

[@AlexanderDemin]

Mr McDougall, you’re the hero! Carry on, stay safe!

[@lanilok3696]

Thank you, Dr. McDougall for this video. I’ve been confused over which form of Vitamin B-12 to buy over the years. I’ve bought the different forms and discarded those that I was told had Cyanide. Also, I don’t take the high dosage B-12s everyday but once a week. I’m glad to have this clarification.

[@hangingoutwithkim]

Thank you John! My husband and I have been Starchivores for 10+ years now! We can't thank you enough for what you do!!!! ❤️

[@jeanmichel8768]

My wife is so thankful for your way of eating and she said that was one of the best solution she ever made.

[@indirajayaraman4758]

After turning vegan (Oct 2021) from vegetarian, thanks to you I listened to you and take a small dose if B12 tablet once a week Thank you for helping people all over the globe with your starchbased vegan diet. This way if eating is lifegiving.

[@justsaying1856]

My dna health test told me I don't absorb or process B-12 very effectively, so I'm taking some everyday. I haven't been tested for a deficiency, so hope that taking it everyday will keep me well. I have been tired for years and sick&fat on a SAD high meat diet, so I think the plant based starch diet is the way to go with a B-12 pill daily.

[@teena1054]

I am currently taking Cyanocobalamin. However, after watching your video I will definitely pick up the other two forms and take them too. Excellent information as usual. Thank you so much Dr McDougall!!

[@outdoorsfan4179]

Excellent advice from a true legend and nutrition pioneer. Using different forms of B12 sounds like a good idea.

[@wallaceanature2788]

I have shared this excellent video several times with people over the past few months, and each time I look up the video I want to hit the like button again. 👍 Would be perfect if Dr McDougall would also explain how people can get their B12 levels checked if they are in any doubt.

[@hewhotoldyouso]

I use nutritional yeast that includes B12 on a regular basis.I believe that gives us more than we ever need and solves the B12 issue

[@michaelflores572]

Be careful that’s what I thought. Started having neurological problems. Doing injections every other day now until the problems go away.

[@smallfootprint2961]

So grateful for all your wisdom. Love these videos. Thanks for talking about this question.

[@ezd1083]

Hi Dr. McDougall. My GP has advised me to take V-B12 as previous blood exams show a slightly deficient. I have been primarily on a plant based diet for more than three years. He was not clear on the dose but thinks I need one every day.

[@elizabethheiland5632]

Anyone find a supplement with 5mcg

[@lancaster5077]

What about B12 in Marmite (yeast extract) spreads ?

[@susanfromthemountains1754]

Love you Dr. McDougall! 💕👍

[@angelaspielbusch1237]

Thank you Dr McDougall

[@tosca...]

I think I might use my mother's old pill Cutter to lessen the dose and use the three forms over a 3 weekly cycle. Whenever I get blood tests my doctor mentions I have a high level of Vitamin B 12. I have no idea how I'm absorbing it, but this is information we can use in perhaps improving our dose until there is more conclusive evidence. I know you'll be on top of it for us all Dr McDougall :)

[@carbrock.2854]

Dr. McDougall, do you have any thoughts about how the bacteria on our skin produces B12 and that B12 can be absorbed through the skin, so that maybe it's not a good idea to use soap and other chemicals on our skin on a frequent basis?

[@medinabello19]

@@samnotsung not surprised he's so busy

[@paulwalker2873]

Hi John. Followed you for years. You are legendary! Are yeast extract spreads a good source of B12?

[@justarandomweirdoufound]

I’d like to ask Dr McD a question about hairloss. Not sure where I can submit my question. I’ve lost so much hair after going WFPBNO in march 2022. Lost 65 lbs in 8 months but holding steady now. Prob too fast to lose that much weight. Will hair grow back? It’s become so thin..

[@explorerofunknownworlddept6232]

Take Biotin supplements daily for hair.

[@Andreas01]

Why is the video quality so low? Does he not have a 1080p camera?

[@janetromerica549]

Dr.McDougal!Pls.Have a topic also about autoimmune desease.Hoping to help a friend.

[@arvindram]

Here's McDougall on auto immune disease: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZzPm6h3p8mKi9k

[@bazzywaz1448]

Dr. mcdougall has an entire lecture on autoimmune diseases kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnrKgpKknamibJI and on that channel as well you can search for "autoimmune disease" and got results from other people she had on her show

[@CharlieFader]

Any link to the studies mentioned?

[@HockeyJock]

He's really missing an entire population of folks with MTHFR issues that can't properly metabolize the typical forms, such as cyano.

[@beepbeepnj2658]

Zero B12 There are 8.7 million species of animals that take zero vitamins and supplements and they are thriving. Even the pest control companies are thriving from all the bugs that are reproducing like crazy from eating from the so called nutrient depleted soil while consuming no vitamins or supplements. Please explain how this is possible.

[@dani7190]

What is your information source?

[@adiohead]

Are those animals living with water from taps that has been cleaned and processed? Humans live in very sterilised environments compared to animals.

[@beepbeepnj2658]

@@adiohead That's a good point but a person can still learn a lot from observing these living creatures and they might out survive us in the end.

[@Scless]

@@adiohead exactly b12 is found in the rivers and springs so animals get it by drinking the water

[@DraynorManor]

actually bugs are less than before

[@gamtngirl3655]

Thank you!

[@bunkermunk1707]

Great advice, lousy sound quality.

[@glodusmuspell9069]

I saw an interview with a girl who has complete 100% B12 deficiency, but she feels 100% fine. And she doesn't plan to take B12 supplements. It's been years. So what does this tell us?

[@Lieutenant-Dan]

B12 supplements give me migraines.

[@judyhoomalamalama]

Dr Neal Barnard does recommend a daily supplement in his recent podcasts. This is so confusing. Again the medical community is not in agreement. Grrrr

[@cantstoplion]

[@m.fender2989]

Do we age faster on a vegan diet?

[@quacktuber1051]

My opinion, we can't change our age which is strictly the number of years we have been alive. You can however increase longevity and health with diet and lifestyle improvements.

[@captainpawpawchannel]

No, much slower actually

[@brightbite]

No. No one knows how old I am!

[@OldEarthWisdom]

I can't understand the words he is saying.

[@TB1M1]

Why not eat an egg or some fish occasionally and be done with it. Our ancestors didn't question this stuff.

[@glodusmuspell9069]

That's not good for our body. Better to have b12 deficiency

[@Scless]

@@glodusmuspell9069 if you eat an egg use only the yolk and cook it. I dont blame people who think like this because b12 supplements cause a lot of side effects compare to eating egg yolks,

[@panes840]

and why would you say that when you know this Dr is not advocating animal products for a whole host of reasons. If you don't understand then I suggest you research what he has said.

[@kiwikim5163]

The best formulation of B-12 is to eat animal foods. Animal food are our natural diet. Dr. looks like a frail 90 year old. He’s 75 and using a heavy filter.

[@Scless]

i agree he looks unhealthy but there are a lot of vegans who look amazing, Maybe he is not eating the right foods. Thats not an excuse to say animal foods are the best. I hear him many times saying he is eating mostly rice and potatoes. These foods alone cant sustain you for long before you start looking like a sceletor.

[@panes840]

He may look unhealthy to you because you are conditioned culturally to think what healthy to you "should look like". He is an old man now, and he has his mental faculties and physical faculties and doing extremely well. He has eaten this way for more than 50+ years. People in the west are conditioned to think and feel a certain way about what healthy should be and look like yet ironically are fat, sick and dying of non communicable diseases but have the audacity to criticize those who are living differently. Maybe he could eat a bit of this and a bit of that but there is no guarantee that would make him any healthier than he is right now. Personally I see nothing wrong with his skin. My mother who is 86 looks like a pile of sh#t compared to John McDougall. She has had cancer x3 times, high blood pressure, diabetes and diverticulitius and is slowly dying from malnutrition from what the western diet and her relentless smoking has done to her body but you know....... everything in moderation and of course now considered normal part of aging. So you can be as vindictive as you like with the "he's 75 and using a heavy filter" because you have no actual real evidence for that, just vindictive sniping because he is advocating a diet that you are not following. At 75 he looks soooooo much better than other 75 year old folk. If you can't or won't see that then so be it. Your choice. Your loss. Good luck with eating all those animal foods which science and unbiased science at that is discovering is actually a bloody nightmare for the human diet and although we have existed on it, it is far from an optimal diet. Yes we have been eating it for years and years but this is down to herding culture, (see the book The World Peace Diet) and agendas of the elite and marketing their products ever since we understood the role of protein which has been over rated and over stated again for marketing purposes to sell PRODUCTS. ANIMAL PRODUCTS. So again you have to do your homework before you open your mouth and make yourself look somewhat dumb rather than smart.
