I remember my Mom had low B12, and back when her primary doctor would give her shots that helped her. That was before vitamin pills made their way onto grocery shelves.
Also, I have low D vitamin as I am rarely outside like I was when I was much younger. The sun now is just too hot to worship anymore. So I need to take vitamin D pills.
So I would recommend trying it. You can get the EZ melts on Amazon. They're pretty cool, the pill melts on the tongue and tastes good.
“Vitamin B12 is not made by plants or animals but by microbes that blanket the earth. In today’s sanitized, modern world, the water supply is commonly chlorinated to kill off any bacteria. So, while we don’t get much B12 in the water anymore, we don’t get much cholera, either, which is a good thing!”

Make sure you get the right one.
“For adults under age 65, the easiest way to get B12 is to take at least one 2,000 mcg supplement each week or a daily dose of 50 mcg. Note that these doses are specific to cyanocobalamin, the preferred supplemental form of vitamin B12, as there is insufficient evidence to support the efficacy of the other forms, like methylcobalamin.
As we age, our ability to absorb vitamin B12 may decline. For those over 65, the supplementation should probably be increased up to 1,000 mcg of cyanocobalamin each day.”
Yeah my son is Vegan, started vegetarian, then graduated to vegan. Id say he does do really well with his diet, and always brings his food with him where ever he goes. Because often there isn't much that he can eat. I always make a large vegetable platter, and send what's left with him.
But this raw vegan diet is so much worse than vegan in general, I've heard it's pretty much people covering up an eating disorder or leads to eating disorder. Which is what I think happened to my nephew.
I told my brother one Thanksgiving, if when you walk into to moms at Thanksgiving and your son gets sick instantly, then it's time for you to accept it's an eating disorder.
What I expected to happen, is exactly what happened, but my brother still wouldn't get him help. So I got a bit evil.
But after 2 years at his mom's and helping he still hasn't fully recovered
Coordinated, low energy
He went to rehab for a month in Boston then physical therapy. But the family is still insisting that there is more issues than his eating issues
He is better, but really never fully recovered, but I do know he is getting better care.
It just dawned on me that it could be because he was lacking B12.
Also mom had to get B12 shots years ago. It is nothing I know anything about, so figured I'd learn more about it all.
On a personal level.
I new I can Google it, I was looking for more personal experiences🤗
