Good info. Love how you go over the origins of B-12 - they are microbial and animals don't make it, but due to modern sanitation: if we aren't eating animals who are eating these microbes then we should be supplementing. Very concise explanation....the best I have heard!🌱🍃🕊
Simple, straightforward. Subscribed!
Pro trick: watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@Calvin Tristen Yup, been watching on Flixzone for since december myself =)
@Calvin Tristen yup, been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :D
Appreciate your good work. My hope is that someone like you, or your colleagues, will become Surgeon General one day and set our nation on a course of health and wellness instead of the steady banter about who will pay for our sick population.
That'd be against their depopulation agenda.
Great video Doctor Klaper! I discovered your channel by watching your interview on Simnett Nutrition. You have a talent for explaining things in an easy to understand way.
He really is awesome, right? I knew about him before Darek's interview with him and that interview was awesome! I am so happy Dr. Klapper has his own youtube channel!
This guy is a real stud! I can’t thank you enough for (quite possibly) saving my three children’s lives!!!
I was looking forward for you to have a channel here :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Dr. Klaper! You are a truly inspiration to be more aware of our health and planet.
I was following your advices from some months ago, now I am subscribed to your channel so I don't miss valuable information.
Thanks Dr. Klaper for the helpful info! You rock :D
This is great advice for anyone trying to eat more plant based. I had clinically low B12 back when I was still eating small amounts of animal corpse.
I am a PhD biochemist and the cyano version of Vit B 12 is the natural version. Dont mix up the cyano subgroup in a molecule with the very different compound group of cyanides. Totally different story. Dont panic!
Thank you so much for sharing your passion to help all humans live a healthy satisfying and gratifying life simply by eating a plant based diet. I am grateful and thankful for your existence on this planet. Your explanation about B12, how much, how often, and what kind we need is perfect!
Thank you for this... always a confusing subject but you've made it very comprehensible.
my volume is turned allllllllllll the way up, and it's still a bit hard to hear you. thank you for the B12 talk. i liked, subscribed and rang the bell.
Thank you for explaining Vit B12 requirements. Appreciate your insight
What an inspiration you are Sir. My respect to you is paramount! Thank you very much!
When I was eating the SAD diet (but more healthy than most) I wasn't well. I was weak and getting weaker and had been dealing with pretty bad IBS for more than ten years. I started supplementing with B12 as I heard some people are deficient. My doctor did say my levels were high so I stopped (I wasn't feeling better anyway). Fast forward, I' ve been vegan for a little bit over a month now and I'm eating legumes and all sorts of vegetation (no wheat though) with no lBS symptoms and I've been noticing my strength coming back. One way I noticed, is that I don't feel the need for sports supplements before my morning workout. I'm going to keep being vegan and see how much improvement I experience as I've also started to lose fat. Now your video has given me a good guideline on how to supplement with B12 and what questions to ask and what tests to ask for. Thank you so much!

Dr. Klaper, thank you for the informative video. Please consider doing something about the volume level, it was very hard to hear you.

Dr Greger is ALSO amazing and they share the same message.
Thank Dr Klaper for your thorough explanation. So glad I found your channel! It will help many of my friends!

Im delighted that you are on the tube! Thanks mr Klapp💪
Thank you, Dr. Klaper! So helpful and clear!
Thanks for posting, very informative! Always a pleasure to listen to you speak!
Your voice and way of teaching is so sweet which makes listening irresistible. Thanks for the info. I wanted to know more so I subscribed.
Thank you Doctor Klaper ! For talking about Vitamin B 12.
I had a B12 deficit and I thought I had MS! My brain was not working well and my eyes wouldn’t focusing near the end of the day. My hands began throbbing and shaking. I thought I was dying. It was terrifying! Liquid drops fixed me up in a week.
Myles Gray were you supplementing anything other than drops prior to the deficit for b12?
Sean O'Gorman Yes, I took magnesium, 1000iu of D3, and a multivitamin about every other day but I never took B12. I’m not vegan either but I do have leaky gut and compromised absorption.
Happen to me too from sibo. Im on b12 shots now
Trace Hillier were oral supps not sufficient for u?
@@seanogorman3617 no. I get shots montly. Plus a b complex pill
You're the most intelligent man I have watched on here.
CZcams Vitamin B12 - Why & how much?
By doctor klaper
0:42 its absolutely essential nutrient , you need it keep your brain functioning your spinal cord working do not run out
2:34 supplement store buy cyanocobalamin b12
2500 micrograms 2:46 once week is enough to keep your tissue stores topped up that's all you need
If taking daily then 250 micrograms should be more than enough 3:19 if don't want cyanocobalamin you take methylcobalmine same amount
3:48 make sure your b12 level over at least 600micrograms /ml normal range down 200 that's way to low 4:05 if you got enough b12 then the molecules it detoxes homocysteine should be nice low ,methomalinic acid should be low, if those high b12 not getting into tissues either need increase dosage or change form
Drjockers b12 methylcobalmine
Says.u.s. test 200 picograms is low normal,Japan 500 picograms islow normal, I aim 800-1200 picograms b12 levels patients
You're a nice man Thank you I'll be watching more
Thank you so much for your enlightening videos on plant-based food. I am transitioning into veganism to transform my health.
Wonderfully clear explanation of the process, thank's. BTW, so glad I've found this.
Great video! A few more suggestions: Anyone who takes metformin for type 2 diabetes or takes an acid-blocker pill (like omeprazole or propulcid) for GERD should have their Vitamin B12 levels assessed at least annually and should take a B12 supplement. These medications can cause deficiency. Both B12 deficiency and diabetes can lead to nerve damage. Nerve damage from B12 deficiency is often not reversible so supplements are critically important. One more note, the USDA recommends Vitamin B12 for anyone over the age of 50 because absorption decreases as we age.
Thank you Dr. Klaper. The world around me including my GP made me doubt veganism but I’m convinced now that I’m listening to someone like you, who’s a living example that this works.
I’m left with one doubt though:
eggs. Can they be beneficial for our health if coming from ethically raised hens( free running from your own back yard).
Thank you so much for posting this video! It is super informative. I will be pointing my nutrition coaching clients to this video to learn more about this!
I subscribed. Thank you, Dr. Klaper!
This video is good. I would like a video that I could show to my GP during the visit. One time I showed a video but it ran too long and he missed a really important part about b12 function testing. With short visits of about ten minutes, a video that covers all the salient points in about 1-2 minutes could work. Consider making a series of really short videos aimed at informing GPs about plant based diet caveats. Thanks.
Derwent Mayhew hi. These CZcams presenters especially doctors need to provide a transcript of the video, right?!?
And I sure APPRECIATE that you take the TIME to come on you tube channel AND Share your knowledge of a healthy way to live
Thank you Dr. Klaper!
Hey Doc. I alternate between cyanocobalamin and methylcobalamin each day because I couldn't work out which was definitively "better".
A really good idea.
informative & simple
thank you
Good information. Nice person as well. Subscribed.
Thank you very much, what you doing is very admirable and ethical.
Hi Dr Dr Klaper, please advise, I have been told by a Dietician that unless I am taking methylated B12, I am wasting my time, is this true? She said that B12 may show up as fine in blood tests, which mine does, but it is still not been used at cellular level? I would love to hear your view? Many thanks
Appreciate all your advice and expertise. Your the best !!!!
I appreciate that!
Great as usual,I always listen to you...I have subscribed and liked ...thank you x
I was actually getting quite paranoid about the whole issue because there were conflicting sources of information about cyanocobalamin and Methylcobalamin. I checked my serum B12 levels around 6 months ago, and they are well above normal. I will do the Holotranscobalamin test shortly. I take Methylcobalamin. With so much of deliberate misinformation campaigns around plant based diet, one tends to get alarmed.
Were u getting any symptoms?
Great info on why we don’t get enough B12 in the 21st century.
Love your common sense advice!
Thank you for the clear informative video. I'd like to suggest that the term Plant Based be examined again: I feel it is open to various kinds of interpretation. For example a tapioca based pudding could well be based on tapioca but could also contain small amounts of butter and could be topped or garnished with cream. A product or diet based on one type of component need not contain only that component or that type of components. As a vegan for myself I always say Plant Food Only. My diet is not based on plants but containing non plant food as well, instead my diet is composed only of plant foods. As a leading vegan doctor, researcher, speaker and presenter of videos I would request you give a thought to the matter since your views are highly influential.
I have great regard for your efforts and have often shared your videos. Best wishes.
I never could say "plant based" eather, cuz it could mean "based on plants" in a big percentage + small amount of animal remains... So I always say that I eat plants only! 👏
@@ariasworld9991 exactly. Here's my video on the subject: czcams.com/video/wKzQ7b430P0/video.html 'Plant based: an important point' on my channel 'Happily Vegan Since 2000', hope you will watch it.
You are so reassuring and helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Great advice to suggest checking levels after six months on supplements as well as mention HC and MMA B12 indicators. I will do a test to check
Thank you for your excellent information on b12...Ive been WFPB for nearly 3 years and eat an amazing range of food. I have not been taking supplements though because I thought I would not require them. I had my bloods done a year ago and just pulled them out and noticed that my levels were 119..... my doctor said nothing about it.......you were saying it needs to be up at approx 600....gosh! I need to be pumping some supplements then....
Thank you so much Dr. Klaper. I've followed you so much and just now found your channel and subscribed right away. I've studied your videos a lot, as well as videos and books from Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., and there's more... I sure do appreciate your input here on B12 and all your help in making us so much healthier humans. I've been plant based for about 4 years now.. Best decision of my life. Best to you during this lockdown. Stay safe yourself. Sincerely, -Michael Eldon Lobsinger
Thank you, keep up the great work 👍
So helpful! Thank you for sharing such important information so simply and clearly!
Thank you! So knowledgeable, really appreciate you sharing this information with us!
Thanks for the intel doc!
Thank you for this info!
Informative. Thank you.
Can you tell me when I take B12 my heart becomes speedy feeling?
Sir Dr Klaper love you!!!!
Great information. To the point and understanding. Thank you.
How about taking 1500 mcg tablet twice a week?
Outstanding!!! (as always!) Vegan Doc
Thank you for this very clear explanation.
Most helpful, thank you
Wow, the second I saw you I feel calm you have an amazing presence🌸💗🌸
So glad I found you. Thank you.
Thank you for your very informative video. I am impressed you include a solution for people who do not want to take anything with the cyanide molecule in it.
Love this man!!! .... just subscribed!!!
One of the reasons I don't absolutely clean the heck out of my home grown veggies; I know my soil, everything is organic and I grow my own veg, so when I wash things I don't go complete mad. Leaving a little soil on (not much) is a good thing.
Thank you!
Thanks! I appreciate the information.
I put about a tea spoon of yeast flakes with added B12 almost daily , hope it is enough
Sir please do something for voice quality I ur video... I love ur constant... I am a vegan from India lifetime vegan for 34years of age
Thank you Dr.Klaper for the vedio ,
Can you enlight us on the lung fungels and are they effected by the whole plant based diet?
saeed from Saudi Arabia
How much should I give my son who is 7 years old? I’ve found conflicting amounts online. Thank you in advance!
Great Video loved it :)
Easy video and super k12 empowering. Thanks Doctor Klaper
Take B6, folate, B12 together and NOT in ISOLATION.
Vegans need B12 alone, beans will take care of the rest
Thank you so much for this info,god bless you. I took 5000 micrograms every 2 weeks I think it's the same?!
Not quite. Listen closely to the whole video. He said that if you take a 5000 mcg tablet, your body can only absorb around 2000 mcg (or, maybe just slightly more - up to 2500, maybe -), and will dispose of the rest. So, if you’re taking a 5000 mcg tablet only once every 2 weeks, you’re probably really only getting about half the amount that you need. It would be better to get yourself a pill cutter (most pharmacies should have these in their over the counter aisles), and cut your 5000 mcg tablet in half. Then take half a tablet, once every week, and store the other half in an otherwise empty pill container with lid. Just be sure to take your half tablet, every week, on the same day of the week. This is a method that has been frequently recommended by Dr. Michael Greger, in many of his videos. 😉💜🌱💜😄
Thank you! You are a gem!❤
Seaweed for the win! 😊
Thank you so much for the information very clear and concise. I did have one question for my young children. How much B12 for them?
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you! Very informative
Excellent. Thank you.
Very useful : thank you!
It's a difficult issue, vegans do not get enough B12 in their diet, so they are told to take a supplement, but at the same time,there are some convincing studies that show a greater risk of developing lung and other forms of cancer in people that have high levels of B12 in their system do to supplementation, not from B12 rich foods.. Maybe we vegans should try to get our B12 from from fortified foods if we can and only consider supplementation when we are severely deficient.
Could you tell me how much should children take B12? What is good level of B12 for them? Thanks :)
Great video! Absolutely nothing I wish to contend with.
I gotta get my MMA and homocysteine levels checked.
I'm probably fine but I can't help but wonder if I lack the intrinsic factor required to metabolize vitamin b-12
Intrinsic factor is folate? Or folic acid?
Thank you.
We're eating rural home grown vegetables and fruit and drinking water direct from our well.
Do you think we are ingesting enough B12 as a consequence of this?
Thank you so much!
great info, I take vit d and b12 but will switch to once a week for b 12
Thank you! I have a baby girl 1 1/2 year old that I’m trying to transition to plant-based lifestyle. How much B12 should I give her in supplement?
Why are you attempting to transition her from a diet that's appropriate for a baby?
Hi Christine, for toddlers the recommended intake is 0.9 microg. So a daily supplement of 10 to 40 mcg OR a bi-weekly supplement of 375 mcg OR food fortified with at least 0.3 mcg three times a day should do the trick =) (source: Becoming Vegan, by B. Davis and V. Melinda)
Elisheba X thanks for the info! Question though. If 0.9mcg is the RDI (daily), then 10-40mcg per day would be way too high. Shouldn’t her weekly intake be 7mcg, or even alittle higher to be safe. I’m actually rethinking why adults even take extra B12 if the RDI is much lower (5.2mcg for adults).
@@christineherbster609 This is because not all the ingested B12 is
absorbed during digestion. At least half of it goes through our intestines without ending in our blood stream. Hence the higher recommended consumption.
I would also add that a moderate excess of B12 (below 4000 mcg per week) will not be damageable. Our body will store what it can and evacuate / not absorb the rest.
Elisheba X ok that makes sense. Thanks again so much for taking time to explain this 😊👍
What do you think of Hemp Seeds and Hemp Oil
