Welcome to the Wednesday episode of The Angriest Trainer.  Today, Vinnie Tortorich and Andy Schreiber discuss essential vitamin B12…why it is important, why vegans run a deficiency risk and the best way to take it as a supplement…

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

WHY VITAMIN B12 IS IMPORTANT

  • One of the essential vitamins
  • Deficiency is serious…affects blood cells and energy
  • Plentiful in animal foods

VEGANS AND B12

  • Vitamin B12 does not occur naturally in any plant-based food
  • The only exception are organisms that attach themselves to plant-based food

FORMS OF B12

  • Vast majority of supplements come in the form of cyanocobalamin
  • Vitamin is bound together by cyanide molecule
  • It must be converted to methylcobalamin in liver
  • And it takes energy to flush out of liver
