Are Supplements Necessary on a Whole Food Plant Based Diet? | Mastering Diabetes

Описание: Should you take food supplements? Are vitamin B12 supplements good for you? Dr. Matthew Lederman has answers. He's got facts about vitamins and minerals - and that's one thing to help you thrive on a whole food, plant-based diet.

SIDENOTE: Calling all vegan, vegetarian, and all-out plant-based eaters, the nutrition you're adhering to is one of the healthiest ways to live. The team and many plant-based doctors have been preaching about plant-based nutrition being packed with nutrient-dense foods. However, the diet is generally devoid of vitamin B12. And vitamin B12 deficiency is a serious threat.

What is Vitamin B12? Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is naturally found in animal products or bacteria. Animals are rich in Vitamin B12 because their primary nutrition includes products covered in bacteria. Also, animals' microbiome is simply lined with thesee microorganisms. Humans do have tons of bacteria in their guts, but only in the colon. (We might need to hear more from Dr. Matthew.)
