raw vitamins

[cherry.chops]

im currently taking B12 tablets but i was wondering if there was a 'rawrer' version? is there such thing as raw vitamin tablets? (exept of course raw food itself!)

vitamin tablets are processed... not raw.

Hi Cherry.Chops -

there is a product by Garden of Life called Vitamin Code. They have a series of individual and multi-vitamins that are minimally processed and raw.

thanks veganman, i'll have a look into it.
Aleesha, im aware they arnt raw, which is why i am after a raw version. i dont take them regually any more but i dont want to miss out on B12 either. what do you think would be a good substitute?

personally i prefer to figure out what it is i need... and then consuming foods with that in it.

for example... i wanted more zinc so i started eating more pumpkin seeds. ;)

more calcium... i add more chia seeds.

i don't take any vitamin pills and never will. i believe we can get everything we need from our food... and i will continue doing that. after all, so far... it's totally workin' for me!

:D

ive heared that there arnt many things with B12 in them.What raw vegan foods can i eat more of that will contain a decent amount?

Chlorella has B12

Nutritional yeast also has B vitamins

If you are deficient these wont do.

Its more then just taking vitamins/supplements or eating the foods. You want to make sure that you are also absorbing everything.
People can become low on B12 because they've destroyed the healthy bacteria in their gut. There's many ways of doing that, exmples; smoking, alcohol consumption, all kinds of drugs and also consuming too much garlic and onion will mess up your healthy bacteria that absorbs B12.

someone was telling me about colloilial minerals... i don't know anything about them but supposedly they are straight from the plant and must be taken in liquid form...

If you don't have allergies, you can try bee pollen. Alges, nova Scotia dulse has them. Even sunflower sprout. I don't know if your body cans absorb it, i supplement and get the Max Stress B Nano-Plex (Liquid-Vegan). It seems to work for me and it was recommended by Dr. Cousens.
