B12 supplement for vegetarian teenagers needed?
Definitely. I don’t see a difference why they shouldn’t get it
Most people, veg or not, need B12 supplement. Even factory farmed animals are supplemented. If we aren’t working in the dirt, eating homegrown veggies that aren’t overly sanitized, we need to supplement B12.
Yes. Ask your family physician to recommend one. 👍
Look into water lentils. Vegan source of B12.
Thank you <3
Don’t eat this poison.
You have a weak grasp on what that word means.
@@bellenesatan Processed, is weak?
@@cleroyster2610 In Sweden the definition of “processed” is so wide that berries and veggies that has been frozen counts as processed. You should be more focused on health outcomes than phrasing. The Beyond Burger in studies has been compared to burgers made from beef of organic grassfed cows. And the Beyond Burger came out more favorable when looking at health factors such as TMAO and LDL-cholesterol. Look up Dr Christopher Gardner for more info on this study.
💯 Total garbage being spewed by the same people. Every time!
I want a taste of THE MODERN VEGETABLE MEAT lol
I suspect someone in your staff knows this already, though you didn’t mention it here, but Buddhist monks were making wheat-based mock-meat for hundreds of years before it became known in the west.
LOVE THIS INFORMATION JUST STARTED VEGETARIAN DIET
Check out water lentils as a great B12 source.
Welcome!
