Fat Vs Thin

Nope, I’d rather take a B12 supplement than be twelve again. But if you need more energy at this stage of your life than by all means let’s discuss B12. Or otherwise known as methylcobalamin. And you know what vitamin helps B12 be absorbed? Go back to yesterday’s post and there’s your answer. I’m impressing you with the importance in most instances to take the whole b complex together.

As a nutritionist I would definitely isolate different b vitamins for different reasons, but for the general public take them together. This is what I have found so interesting as I was researching B12. Do you know they say that it is only found in animal meat,eggs and dairy? This one article suggests how vegans have such a hard time getting B12 because they don’t eat meat.

Well my friends, plankton to the rescue. One of the richest sources of B12 is found in one of my favorite algae’s, spirulina. As a matter of fact I just swallowed about 8 little tablets for an afternoon lift.

Ok, B12 is so important to help make  healthy red blood cells, you must get it in a suppelment or in your diet. ( I almost feel I need to write another post on B12 because I have so much to say about it.) 

But what you need to know today is you need to take a look at your diet and make sure you’re getting good sources of B12. And of course I extend an invitation for you to see your local Santa Monica nutritionist Meg.

Sources of B12; liver(yuk), beef, pork, eggs, cheese(too cheesey) and kidney(no thanks)…I’d much rather take my delicious b12 supplement.
