    I have been for a plant-based diet for about 1.5 years now and while I believe B12 deficiency is a valid point, I get annoyed with ppl lecturing me about this. Do they watch their daily intake if vitamin A, C, K, folic acid, unsaturated fatty acids, etc.?? Most of them don't and might be in many cases deficient in some of these categories.
    My personal experience has shown me that I am much more concerned and about my diet and health and actively shaping it for the better than most ppl I know.
    Do keep on inspiring, guys!

      You can be eating your vitamins and folic acid, if you dont get your B12 you will not absorb them properly and you will have a deficiency on every single one of them. I checked every day my intake and still had lack of it.

    I've been vegetarian for about 22 years and it was only last year when I decided to cut out the small amount of dairy products out my diet that I was diagnosed B12 deficent. I had started to get really into fitness and I was training pretty much every day and I noticed I was getting really awful pain in my joint so I went to be tested for arthritis as it runs in my family and the only thing that showed up on the tests was the b12 deficiency. They actually took the blood test again as they thought it was an error as they'd never seen anyone with absolutely no trace of b12 in their blood but no the second test came back the same. The doctor was shocked that I did not notice something was wrong but as I've been vegetarian since I was 12 they way I felt was normal. Now I take 3 prescribed b12 supplements a day and I go for a monthly injection. I do feel loads better for it and my hair and nails are now growing in nice and strong :-). The pain in my joints also disappeared.

    Actually it takes a few years before you become B12 deficient even if you're on a strict vegan diet, because our body just needs a really tiny amount of B12 and there is quite a lot B12 "back-up", which has to be used up before you get a B12 deficiency :) just some information from a medical student. Yay, sometimes biochemistry is actually useful :) !

      Jana K b12 is water soluable. You don't store it in your fat. You can become deficient in a matter of days. Your body will have to use backup systems to do the job of b12. So symptoms might take a while to develop like nerve damage.

    I had a b12 deficiency and tbh it's pretty heavy. I was 20 around that time and I had to take an hour nap after every school, while I sleep 8 hours every night. I felt cold 24/7. My hair felt out more easily. It was though to concentrate and I would fall asleep during lectures quite regurlary.
    B12 doesn't come from being vegan or vegetarian for a few years, like said by another commenter you normally would have to not get it from your diet for 10 years or something before you get a deficiency. It's probrably something wrong in my system, my brother has the same. But at the same time, I would like to ask you to take your health serious. B12 deficiency is a serious problem to have and will throw your life of track for a half year, or longer when you can't figure out what it is. It's good to supplement what you can't get from your diet. Best is to try to get it into your diet, but most vegan products just have b12 added which really makes me raise the question what the difference between supplementing and eating it then. I supplement it. Just research b12 deficiency is you're still deciding if you should do the same and don't just listen to people that tell you they feel great so you probrably don't have to supplement. That's not a good base for your decision.

    • @jigglypufflove
      @jigglypufflove Před 4 lety +1

      Look up pernicious anaemia. It’s an autoimmune disease where the stomach cells which produce a substance known as Intrinsic factor are damaged by body’s own immune system. Intrinsic factor binds to B12 in the stomach and this combined form is absorbed further down the gut at the terminal ileum. If you have pernicious anaemia it doesn’t matter how much B12 you ingest orally because you lack the ability to produce intrinsic factor in the stomach the B12 will pass out through your gut without being absorbed. B12 with iron and folate is essential in red blood cell production hence eventual anaemia with symptoms of fatigue, shortness of breath, etc. People with pernicious anaemia will require lifelong intramuscular B12 injections usually every 3 months. Autoimmune diseases have a genetic component.

    I had 3 times deficiency in B12 and Iron. Now, I gave up and take b12 every day. This is really important to address, even for meat eaters... My mum also had the same problem and she eats meat and dairy, all of that. It can really put your health in a bad state. I was sure I was getting all my iron, as now I am, but because of vitamin B12, I could not absorb it. And that causes anemia and neurological problems.

      This is why cattle is fed with plenty of supplements. B12 INCLUDED! Among others, why B12? Because, thanks to Monsanto and Bayer and GMO suppliers, the fodder they are eating doesn't contain B12 anymore!!!

      @jigglypufflove Před 4 lety

      You should be tested for Pernicious anaemia. A condition which means that no matter how much B12 you ingest orally your body cannot absorb from gut. It’s an autoimmune condition where the cells in the stomach which produce something called Intrinsic factor are damaged by the body’s own immune system. The intrinsic factor normally binds to B12 from food in the stomach and this complex is absorbed further down the gut.

    The interesting thing about blood tests is that they can be wildly inaccurate.

So it's possible to be deficient but still have a blood test come back ok. A supplement is cheap and easy.

Also I am facing a whole bunch of gut issues.. I thought oh great, maybe I was wrong. Turns out my gramps and mom are b12 deficient and gut issues run in the family. Truth is maybe I don't have more energy than anyone else and I do get sick here and there as much as the average person but when i ate meat I was sick all the time. Ive cut down colds that turn into sinusitis etc that last a month to 2 months into a week.. if that. i don't feel like falling over and dying after 10 minutes of exercise anymore. This to say that if you meet a vegetarian or vegan that might be sick or unhealthy, you really don't know their state before they converted and their state is not necessarily a basis to judge their health

I am so torn because i cannot bring myself to eat meat and i know about how horrible the industry is etc etc but as the same time i want to be healthy?? does anyone know any more about this and if there are any other options??

    True B12 deficiency is very over diagnosed very rare .01% of the population or less aka "pernicious anemia" supplements are cheap but overkill for most.

    I'm not vegan, I'm vegetarian, don't know if that changes my B-12 intake, but it has never been a problem for me. However I want to address another vital nutrient that has been a problem for me.
    I've been vegetarian for about 18 years now, and in my experience getting a good source of non-Heme Iron is something frequently overlooked. I recently found out that I have been highly Iron deficient for quite some time, I had even supplemented with Iron tablets in the past, it turns out these are mostly useless as more than 70% (when taken in solid form) is not absorbed by the body. Basically the body most readily absorbs Heme-Iron, that is Iron bound to a protein, which comes from animal sources. This puts anyone not eating meat at a considerable disadvantage, as you will need several times the amount of non-Heme Iron in your diet, in order to absorb the "equivalent" and "sufficient" daily amount of Heme-Iron.

    • @plantonic1791
      @plantonic1791 Před 8 lety +1

    As I understand it, B12 is an gut microorganism that our bodies recycle constantly, so if we have a good diet and eat fairly clean then our bodies will recycle what they need. However if our gut is struggling and not operating well, then reabsorbtion becomes an issue and this can happen whether vegan or not: plenty of omnivores have this issue. They may eat enough b12 but it is not being absorbed. Doing a cleanse may help, as will anything that helps digestion. I would love to see you vegan athletes who have not supplemented get tested, and I recon you could be clean, and good. Keep up the good work.

      Hi Sarah, I've been a vegetarian for over 20 years now and over the years have had many bouts of low Iron and B12, I've taken supplements and had B12 injections. I've been very stable for the last few years. I think one of the main reasons has been porridge or over night oats made with almond milk and a sprinkling of mixed seeds every morning, snacking on nuts and seeds and throwing beans, lentils and spinach into every meal. Also a lot fruit, as the vitamin C will help the iron to absorb into your blood stream.

Sometimes I take Supplements with when I travel and there's not Shot Available. I take B-Complex Supplements too if there's not Shots available. Yeah, I would pack more D3 if I were moving to places like Seattle or any Humid and super rainy Areas. Yeah, I am lucky enough that I knew this for after 7-8 year mark of becoming Vegan. Yeah, I used to have strange symptoms like my skin being pale, my brain keep forgetting stuff and me acting a little Psychotic. Yeah, I know it's not easy for us to Consume it. Back then, Vegans didn't exist because there were no pure form of B12 at the time, When Supplements and Shots came, it was more possible. Vegetarianism was more possible but even with Eggs people have died from Salmonella and diseases of that nature. I am vegan for 11 years now and I realized this, My parents never understood why I take some Supplements every morning with Vegan-Friendly Sugar-Free Energy drink! Well, now you guys know!

    Omnivores are deficient because they're plant-based.
    Carnivore is the way to go. Have 3lbs of beef a day and some liver weekly and you've got all the nutrients you need.
    I've had roughly 500kg of beef this year. :)
