Best Vegan Source of Vitamin B12 – Nori (red algae), Chlorella & Spirulina – Dr. Berg

hi guys I had another question on what is the best vegan source of vitamin b12 okay let’s talk about that now there’s three main sources of b12 that a lot of vegans consume one is nori which is red algae chlorella and spirulina but there are there’s two types of b12 there’s a pseudo b12 and there’s like real b12 so pseudo means it’s like a fake b12 and it’s called a b12 analogue what that means it’s similar in chemistry but not very similar in function so if an algae has larger amounts of pseudo b12 or b12 analogue that is going to block that small bit of trace real b12 that’s in there and you’re going to end up with the deficiency so unless you’re consuming extra b12 from a supplement or something I do not recommend trying to get your b12 from nori or spirulina on the other hand chlorella has much greater amounts of actual real b12 and very trace amounts of the pseudo analogue b12 so then the question is how much chlorella do you need to get your daily requirement of b12 you would need six tablets or one teaspoon twice per day thanks for watching hi guys hey listen I created a pretty amazing evaluation quiz down below that actually analyzes your symptoms to find the cause the root cause of all of your symptoms the most likely cause so take the quiz now and we’ll send you a report

In this video, we’re going to talk about the best vegan source of vitamin B12.

There are three primary sources of B12 for vegans.
1. Nori (red algae)
2. Chlorella
3. Spirulina

There are two types of B12. There’s a pseudo B12 (B12 analog) and real B12. B12 analog is similar in chemistry to B12, but not similar in function. So if an algae has large amounts of pseudo B12, it can block real B12. In turn, this can cause a serious deficiency.

Unless you’re taking B12 supplements, I do not recommend that you try to get all of your dietary B12 from nori or spirulina.

However, chlorella does contain a significant amount of real B12. This is the best source of vitamin B12 for vegans.

You need about 6 tablets or one teaspoon of chlorella twice per day.
