Take Your B Vitamins

   As a vegan or vegetarian it is very hard to supply yourself with enough B vitamins without taking a supplement or eating fortified foods, especially B12. This is the reason going 100% Vegan can become unhealthy. If you are taking a supplement and think you are 100% Vegan, you may want to make sure. While some companies are producing B12 in labs, they cannot say whether or not it is bio-available to us as humans. A lot of B12 supplements are derived from animal products. Despite this sad fact, making sure you have the B vitamins you need will allow your body to absorb all the other vitamins and minerals that are in your food. Without your B vitamins your body stops many necessary processes. Basically, without B vitamins your body has a very hard time doing anything and eventually a deficiency will lead to permanent disorders or diseases. So if you are planning to go vegan or vegetarian, please make sure you take your Vitamins! Love, Peace, and Candy Grease!
