Vitamin B12 formula
Vitamin B12 deficiency is VERY common, almost universal, in strict vegetarians and vegans.. Inadequate vitamin B12 can lead to pernicious anemia which is marked by fewer but larger red blood cells. Deficiencies can also cause walking and balance disturbances, a loss of vibration sensation, confusion and even dementia. The only reliable unfortified sources of vitamin B12 are meat, dairy products and eggs. There has been considerable research into possible plant food sources of B12. Fermented soya products, seaweeds and algae have all been proposed as possible sources of B12. However, analysis of fermented soya products, including tempeh, miso, shoyu and tamari, found no significant B12.
That is why Vegans are recommended to ensure their diet includes foods fortified with vitamin B12. A range of B12 fortified foods are available. These include yeast extracts, Vecon vegetable stock, veggieburger mixes, textured vegetable protein, soya milks, vegetable and sunflower margarines, and breakfast cereals.
