Depending on where you live, B12 might be the only nutrient of legitimate concern for your plant-based diet. It’s a subject we get asked a lot of questions about, but it’s also not something to stress over. You can get all the B12 you need by following our simple recommendations.

You say “Healthy whole food” but earlier you wrote that fields are now depleted of nutrients. I agree with the latter and thereby try to eat organic. Farmers need to let a field go fallow and rotate the crops in the fields. While the fallow field that is left alone has a chance to replenish the nutrients. They seem to have known more about this in medieval times than today. Only organic farmers do this, in some farms.

Just click on settings (gear icon), then click on 'Playback speed' where you can choose: .75, .5 or .25 normal speed.

Chlorella powder contains B12. Two tea spoons should cover the daily need. Chlorella is a fresh water algae..

What if you garden a lot. I imagine the bacteria that generate b12 would enter you nose or something.

If you can’t get enough B-12 on a vegan diet, and B-12 is required to be a healthy human, maybe that should tell you something? And where do you think the B-12 comes from in ‘fortified foods’?
