shivananda, thanks for all your valuable input!

You are very welcome. I really, truly hope nobody on this board has to ever deal with what these two wonderful, extraordinary women have had to deal with, over a few cents worth of dietary supplementation they didn't get.

can you tell us which brand of b-12 sublingual you use?

Mine? I don't know. My Naturopath's dispensary puts it up in a plain wrap bottle whenever I need some. But wherever you are, you should be able to find it, and pretty cheap too. B12 is ridiculously inexpensive, so there's no big international drug cartel driving the use of this essential nutrient. That's why it makes no sense *TO ME* not to take it.

On my way home from a meeting tonight I stopped off at a local HFS to check and I found a vegetarian B12 (1000 mcg) /Folic Acid (800 mcg) /B6 (2 mg) sublingual for $8 / 100. That's a year's supply at 2x per week, 2 years at 1x. I mean, why wouldn't you?

Besides, as Raw Priestess was good enough to remind us in another thread, http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12865 the recent International Living Foods conference at the Hippocrates Institute in Florida concluded as a body this January, in the combined wisdom of Living Foods experts with 405 years total experience between them, that B12 supplementation is one of the basic rules of raw vegan life.

Trust me on this, the alternative is not a pretty picture.

Incan berries are high in B-12 and a delicious way to get your share.

I have had 2 bags of them in my cupboard for weeks and only last week started to add them to my smoothies. I have never read anything about them and do not know how many you should use. I added 6 today but that my just be a drop in the ocean.
The taste is reasonable strong.
I tried adding them to walnutt icecream but the food processer made no dent in them and they ended up whole in the finished icecream but they blend nicely.

I have b-12 supplements that I take every so often but not every day..I don't think I notice a difference either.
