How to cover Vitamine B12 plant-based.
Hey beautiful being,
in this Blogpost I would love to share with you
what Vit B12 is all about
why it is essential for your body
and how you can easily cover it on a plant-based diet.
Vitamine B12 is a water-soluble saving Vitamine.
Our body saves a little back up as adenosylcobalamin in our liver, any surplus gets excreted through urine.
Assuming the “saving accounts” of B12 are full they can last for two to eight years on a poor B12 diet/supply.
->> Most of the time they are not full tho and it’s very common to lack B12.
Why is B12 important for your body?
cell devision & creating DNA
creating red blood cells
building shell of nerve fiber
absorption of folic acids into cells
How does B12 deficiency express itself? Aka how do you feel with a lack of B12?
> infections and inflammations of the mucous
> anaemia and general tiredness & exhaustion
> nervous defects like tingling extremities, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson, paralysis
> depression, dementia, perceptual disorder, feeling foggy in the brain
There are different kind of tests to find out if you are actually having a B12 deficiency (at a doctor or at home test to order online available also).
Looking at the importance of this queen Vitamine, I am inviting you all to take food care of yourself and better supplement to be safe and feel jummy in your body. 🦋
Very high quality supplements I use/tried and want to recommend :
🌈they all provide combinations with all critical nutrients or also only B12 as a seperate product if you wish 🌈
🌿sunday natural ALL IN ONE VEGAN (stayed with this one for the last year now and am super happy with it, big loveeee) @sunday_natural
🌿vivo life vegan multi-nutrient @vivolifede @vivolife
These two vegan multi nutrients from sunday and from vivo containing B12 are cocreated with a lot of research and dedication by @niko_rittenau who shares a lot of scientific research generally about plant based living and its effects on the body. He also is an amazing chef and released several books. Very recommended to check him out if you feel like diving deeper in this way.
