Everybody needs regular, reliable sources of vitamin B12. Reputable vitamin B12 supplements or fortified foods (see reference) are needed by all vegans, and also by EVERYONE over the age of 50, no matter their diet. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause nasty side effects such as anaemia, nerve damage, heart disease or pregnancy complications - so it's not worth taking any chances!
Remember, vegans using adequate amounts of fortified foods or B12 supplements are much less likely to suffer from B12 deficiency than the typical older meat eater.
To enjoy the full benefit of your vegan diet, either:
Eat fortified foods with every meal, to obtain 3 micrograms of vitamin B12 each day
OR take one supplement containing at least 10 micrograms of vitamin B12 every day. The Vegan Society'sVEG1 supplement has been specifically formulated for vegans
OR take one supplement containing at least 2000 micrograms of vitamin B12 every week.
