    Default Vegan Children - supplement help please

    My two children haven't made a conscious decision to become vegan, they are eating a vegan diet by default as that is what I now prepare. My daughter has said she wants to be vegetarian, so I'm ok with that, my son will probably eat meat once a fortnight when his ignorant and obnoxious father forces him to eat it at his house.

    This may be a daft question, but I'm obviously concerned about B12 and take a supplement myself. But what do I give the children? I can't find a supplement suitable for them. We talked about it last night, they both think it makes sense for them to have it, but I can't find one anywhere!

    Does anyone know of a brand especially for vegan children?

    Many thanks

    Besides fortified soymilk (which has like 50% or RDI of B12 per serving), my kids take what ever vegan vitamins are cheapest once a week or so. Just went to the store and asked around and with some experience learned what to look for. In the US, there is a company called VEGLIFE that sells vegan vitamins. That is how i get my vitamin D.

    Hi, please check out the many existing threads in the "Vegan Parents" subforum!
    I will not eat anything that walks, swims, flies, runs, skips, hops or crawls.
