Vegan Sources for Vitamins E and B12?

[compassionategirl]

Nat where did you read far too many vegans have a deficiency, and that veganism is not a natural diet? .

 

I think Michael is the one who mentions this. Hard to keep track sometimes of who is saying what I know. I have made an error or two myself lately (sorry guys).!!

 

Anyway, Sirdle, I get my B12 by drinking shakes using soymilk. Fortified soymilk offers about 50% of your daily requirements in only one glass.

 

Not sure about B6 though.

 

And I commend your efforts to transition to veganism in an informed, educated, well researched manner. You will be in a greata position soon to educate others on healthy veganism!!! You rock .

 

And I am dying to see how much you have changed since that picture of yours.

 

 

P.S. I hope your neice's veg*nism is going well and is being supproted and encouraged by her parents!!

And I can't get any Vitamin B12. Are there any vegan sources of B12 other than supplements?

 

Thanks

 

Do not depend on any plants for B12. (Esp. miso, tempeh, etc..)

 

Use Red Star Nutritional Yeast, make sure it's the one with B12.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Nat. My soymilk doesn't have any B12 in it , but it is not-fat, which is what I need right now. And my Vitamin E is low by about 50%, because I am not eating any oils or nuts. So, for the time being I am taking a daily supplement and all is well. .

 

Did I say my niece is vegan? I meant she was vegetarian. With 3 daughters and 2 working parents, the vegan routine would be too much for my brother and sister-in-law to handle right now. But my niece is only 11, and as she grows, she and I will learn together. Soon, we may be able to help the entire family learn, grow, and change .
