Vegetarians, watch this: The Science of Vitamin B12



In this video, we explore the crucial role of Vitamin B12 in maintaining nerve health and producing red blood cells. B12 is a nutrient missing in plant-based diets. While traditional Indian vegetarian diets are rich in most micronutrients, they typically lack Vitamin B12, leading to widespread deficiencies. Historically, these deficiencies have been overlooked and we have simply managed to live with it thanks to dairy/milk products providing a small amount. But, with modern understanding, there’s a clear opportunity to enhance our wellbeing through supplementation or fortified foods. Dive into the science behind B12, its significance, and practical ways to ensure adequate intake, especially for those on vegetarian or vegan diets
