Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 If you are a vegan (a vegetarian who does not eat eggs or dairy products) there are fewer options of vitamin B12 food sources. However, several foods are fortified with this vitamin, such as breakfast cereals, soy milk products, and vegetarian burgers. Check the Nutrition Facts label on these foods for the amount of vitamin B12 they contain. Seaweed, algae, spirulina, and fermented plant foods such as tempeh and miso are often said to be fortified with vitamin B12 as well, however the form used in these products is not well absorbed by the body, and therefore is not considered a good source of vitamin B12. The form that the body can absorb most easily is cyanocobalamin. If you choose to take a supplement, be sure that it contains no more than 100% of the RDA.
