Default How do the vegans get their daily B12

After reading the following from the Mayo Clinic website, I was wondering how vegans get their Vitamin B12 ? A daily vitamin supplement?

It's quite long but worth reading......


Vitamin B12 - MayoClinic.com



I was curious as when my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimers, her physician experimented with thyroid meds but then stopped them; he also tried Aricept which gave her symptoms of anorexia......so stopped that.

She ate very little, so I was wondering , after reading this, could she have been deficicient in B12.



Too late now, however, it is interesting how B12 does impact many illnesses.......just wondering about the vegan diet / vegetarian diet?
