Vitamin B12 and all that stuff

[Guest guest]

Let's start by saying that I am an ovo-lacto vegetarian - but rarely eat

either eggs or dairy. As a result I do take a vitamin supplement for B12

- and anything else that just might be missing, 'just in case', although

I haven't always done this and have suffered no ill effects from the

omission - well, that I know of ;=).

 

I understand, however, that B12 is in brewers yeast, sea vegetables, and

tempeh. Can anyone tell me whether or not it would be practical to use

these foods as a source of B12? How much would one need to eat to meet

the RDI? (Okay, if you tell me ten pounds of seaweed and a bucket of

tempeh I might reconsider such natural means. Brewers yeast I take daily

- but only about two tbsp., except for what I bake into my bread.)

 

Many thanks if anyone can help ;=)

 

best,

pat
