If you take a multi-vitamin, I don't think it is necessary to buy separate supplements for specific vitamins.

If you go to the top of any page here and click on "Search," you can type in "B12" and see what's been posted. Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education

It you are planning a longer stay, then get your B12 somewhere. My rice milk is supplemented with B12 as is my soy milk and my ready-to-eat breakfast cereals. If you take a multi-vitamin supplement you likely get all you need there. I don't, so I take a B12 supplement twice a week.

They sell the Red Star brand in bulk. A little goes a long way. I use about a 1/2 Tbs. a day sprinkled on soups, chili, or marinara sauce. It has a cheezy like flavor. It took me a while to get use to it, but now I really like it. On some vegan websites there are recipes for macaroni & cheese & other recipes using nutritional yeast.
