Veganism and B12 supplements
Hi, I support the vegan cause and tried following a vegan diet for about two weeks. However I am on metformin for high blood sugar which is associated with a drop in B12 levels. My doc never mentioned this or checked my B12. What supplements do you vegans take? Have any of you had issues with B12? When I found out metformin lowers B12 I stopped the vegan diet even though I had a vitamin with B12 in it because I figured I was more likely to absorb B12 from animal products than from a pill. Maybe I just don't trust medicine enough? I don't want to contribute to the atrocious treatment of animals as commodities but I don't want to sacrifice my own health for them. #guiltymeateater
