    Supplements aren’t much of an answer for getting vitamins unless you can’t get them normally, for example due to one’s body not processing it very well from diet alone

    Here’s a great link to foods high in B-12.

    Edit: Link fixed, now goes to the top of the article rather than the middle.

      Unless I misinterpret your comment, doesn’t the link just show fortified food that contains the same “artificial” vitamins as the supplements do?

        Not sure why the link jumps to the middle of the article but scrolling up shows foods that are naturally high in B-12

        Supplements can be important and needed for some people but relying on supplements and telling others to, “just take supplements,” isn’t a solution to nutritional deficiencies caused by diet

        Basically eating a well rounded diet should get you the nutrients you need, a doctor will be able to tell you if you’re lacking in some areas and if you should take supplements to fill in some gaps

        Edit: Fixed the link in my previous comment.

          I guess the problem was that I only considered vegan options. A vegetarian diet ss certainly possible without any supplements. However, there are simply no vegan natural B12 sources. Thank you for clarifying though! :)
