In general, healthy diet first, supplements second. However, if you are not eating much meat anymore, a B12 supplement is the way to go.
“There are virtually no nutrients in animal-based foods that are not better provided by plants,” according to Dr. T. Colin Campbell author of The China Study.
“There are four nutrients which animal-based foods have that plant based foods, for the most part, do not: cholesterol and vitamins A, D and B12. Three of these are nonessential nutrients” and the body can make Vitamins A (through beta-carotene found in yellow and orange fruits and vegetables as well as leafy greens,) and D (through some good sun exposure) readily. “B12 is more problematic” according to Dr. Campbell.
If you are in the market for a B12 supplement a good, whole foods (which means it doesn’t have any artificial fillers), multi-vitamin favored by detox veterans is Vita Synergy. This multi-vitamin also contains Vitamin D – in case you might be lagging during these cold, wintery months.
