B12 deficiency has serious consequences
V
Vegans and Vegetarians should
take a (daily) B12-supplement
itamin B12 comes on top of the Vegan Supplement Checklist, this because vegetable food does NOT contain any B12 (also not in tempeh, parsley, miso, seaweed etc.) take a (daily) B12-supplement
Our body can not make any B12 out of it's own.
Adults can have a B12 reserve of about 3000 micrograms, though an amount which can last for years (we loose about 0.05-0.2% of the storage daily) we should be aware that vegans do not restock themselves and vegetarians not enough. Depending on your lifestyle (smoking, use of medicines) your stock will be depleted in a longer or shorter period.
The only vegan sources of B12 are till here B12-pills, -drops or -injections, their source is that of bacteria. B12 producing bacteria are especially selected and factory cultured in huge boilers.
I use myself the vegan Solgar B12 pills, available in 100mcg, 1000mcg.
The US Recommended Dietary Allowances for B12:

I think the best way to stop a UTI is Cranberry Anti-adherent, Antioxidant.* Research shows that components found in cranberry may help prevent bacteria, such as E. coli, from clinging to the cells along the walls of the urinary tract and causing infection.
