Supplements
B12 is essential when embarking on a strict plant based diet as it is not readily available in high enough quantities from plants. B12 is an important building block for cell growth and energy and it’s EASY to supplement. These are two brands I’ve used over the years.
NOW Brand Ultra B12 Liquid: easy under the tongue, hold for 30 seconds and swallow
Solgar B12 sublingual tablets: dissolve 1 tiny pellet under the tongue each day
