If you are vegan, are you supplementing your B12?
If you are now vegan and are saying "no" to all animal products, it's important for you to know that you are most likely not getting your adequate vitamin B12 in to your diet. If you are not eating meat, then should you be supplementing? The answer is YES. While there are fortified foods out on the market today, eating a sufficient amount every day would be no easy task to get your recommended daily intake, so the best thing to do would be to take a supplement.
