Is your vegan family getting enough vitamin B12? Find out how to boost intake
As vegans, we're often bombarded with concerns about nutrient deficiencies, especially when it comes to vitamin B12.
This essential nutrient is vital for our nerves and DNA, yet it's one of the most misunderstood elements of the vegan diet.
In today's episode, I'll demystify vitamin B12 for vegans, explaining why it's crucial, particularly for our vegan kids, who don't have the nutrient stores that adults do. We'll explore how even though B12 is associated with animal sources, its origins are much more plant-based than you might think. I'll also share why supplementation is essential.
But don't worry, ensuring your vegan family gets enough B12 isn't as hard as it sounds. I'll guide you through the best sources of B12, how to choose the right supplements, and simple ways to incorporate them into your family's routine. Whether you're concerned about your health, your kids' development, or just curious about vegan nutrition, this episode will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to thrive on a plant-based diet. Join me as we safeguard our health with the power of vitamin B12!
