As a vegan is it possible to get Vitamin B12 naturally?

One of the challenges of being a vegan is getting enough Vitamin B12. This nutrient is essential for the duplication of DNA and works with folate and vitamin B6 to decrease our risk of heart disease and cancer. Many vegans take supplements or even get injections to make sure they have enough. Synthetic Vitamin B12 is made from coal tar (a by-product of industrial processes) and is a copy of natural B12.

But did you know that you can get Vitamin B12 naturally? This nutrient is normally found in meat or dairy products but there is one vegan food which does contain a substantial amount of Vitamin B12: Nori Seaweed.

2 sheets (around 4 grams) of Nori Seaweed will give an average adult around 46% of their RDA/RI (recommended daily amount) of Vitamin B12 (click here to see for yourself). So before you resort to synthetic supplements why don’t you see if you can get your Vitamin B12 naturally?
