Same with the Frontier Co-op brand: zero vitamin B12. So, if you find it in the bulk section, you have no idea what it contains unless you actually see the package. You can’t just assume nutritional yeast has B12. Fuhrman’s brand is explicitly unfortified and so, contains zero B12, so that’s an important lesson. So, one tablespoon of this brand sprinkled on each meal and your B12 would be taken care of.īragg’s says it’s even more potent at 563 percent per tablespoon so, just a teaspoon three times a day should suffice. Going alphabetically, Bob’s Red Mill brand has 730 percent per quarter cup so, you’d only need about four times less than that to make up a serving, so around one tablespoon. Okay, so how much nutritional yeast would that be, a commonly B12-fortified food source? It depends on the brand. Plug that into the equation I detailed in the last video, and you get about 1.16 absorbed from each serving, times three times a day, and poof-there’s your 3.5 for the day. See, aren’t you less confused now?Īnyway, the daily value of B12 was set at 6, but was recently changed to 2.4 in 2020, making it all the more confusing and so, 190 percent of 2.4 is about 4.5. How does that make any sense? And what’s the term “Daily Value” even mean? The term Daily Value is used to designate both the Daily Reference Values (DRVs) and Reference Daily Intakes (RDIs) that are based on the Recommended Daily Allowances, all to limit consumer confusion. But if you don’t want to take supplements, you’d have to rely on B12-fortified foods––in which case you’d have to eat three separate servings of B12-fortified foods, each ideally containing at least 190 percent of the so-called “Daily Value” on the product’s nutrition facts label. I think that’s the simplest, cheapest way-taking it once a week.
I’ve talked about my B12 supplement recommendations: either 50 micrograms a day or once-a-week doses of 2,000 micrograms. Greger may be referring, watch the above video.Ī regular, reliable source of vitamin B12 is critical for anyone eating a plant-based diet––either vitamin B12 supplements or vitamin B12-fortified foods.
