Vegetarian Vitamin

vegetarian vitamin
Iam a vegetarian and eat egg and milk also. I have B12 vitamin deficiency. What to eat to overcome B12 ?

I am in my 40s and I lack B12 vitamin. Doctors told me that it will happen since I am a vegetarian. I am vegetarian but also eat egg and milk.I have this B12 problem for the past one year. I cant continue for long with B12 injections/tablets but want to get B12 in my daily food. Can you please tell what fruits/vegetables/nuts/grains etc should I include as part of my daily food to have intake of sufficient B12 vitamin. I shall be thank ful if you can help me in suggesting/advising me of the food I should eat daily for this purpose.

Vitamin tablets are ok, but you pass most of it out in your urine anyway. Nutritional yeast is a great source, as is some seaweed, but both of those are medically disputed sometimes, so see how your body reacts. Fortified foods eaten at frequent intervals (so you don’t pass it all out) are the only solution if you’re deficient…I was told once that it needs to be taken in combination with iron and fat to be fully absorbed, but again, see you how react. Make sure to vary your sources, too.

The link below is really comprehensive. As it will tell you, b12 isn’t found in any fruits/vegetables, only in microorganisms. Do what they recommend and you’ll be fine in a few weeks.
