What supplements should vegans take?

What are good vegan friendly sources of vitamin B12?
The most common sources of vitamin B12 are from dairy products and meat, but if you follow a plant-based diet, you can get your vitamin B12 intake through fortified foods such as cereals, soya milk, and of course, supplements! There are many vegan vitamin B12 supplements that are derived from fermented bacteria, compared to animal-based ingredients like gelatin.
How much vitamin b12 should a vegan take?
If you’re following a vegan diet, you should consider taking a vitamin B12 supplement of 10µg daily or at least 2000µg weekly to ensure you maintain healthy blood and a healthy nervous system.
