I'd rather "supplement" my diet by adding a cup of cereal than by taking a daily supplement in the form of a vitamin.

At work, so I can't check right now. All multivitamins have it too. I take Deva Vegan 1-a-day, and then I don't worry about it.

He's written what he calls "a novel" on B12 and compiles every research paper and study on any vegan topic he can get his hands on. He says mushrooms, sea vegetables, and other food sources are not reliable for various reasons. Anyway, check him out here, if you want to know more than you ever wanted to know. http://jacknorrisrd.com/
