Hello Shadyglade.

Thanks for the heads up.

 I happen to know that a vitamin B12 supplement is essential for vegans because it is made by bacteria and  then ingested by animals. Apparently back in the day humans were exposed to it through soil but we are too hygienic for that to happen these days.

Take care.

Hello Kathleen,


I'm vegetarian, trying to go vegan, I take a sublingual B12 tablet only twice a week, when I was taking it daily (as prescribed) my levels have skyrocketed.

I've been veggie for 25 years now, I only take one of those all in one vitamins for 50+ women,can anyone advise on what I should be taking?ive noticed a lot said about b6 & b12
Thanks

[Shadyglade]

Oh yes. That is very relevant in your case as B12 has a big effect on mood.

I don't eat a lot of meat, I'd rather eat veg,
So I've just started on menopace vitamins.
I've only been on them for a few days, so it'll be interesting to see if I start to
feel anything.
I did take just the B vitamins last year, but stopped them because they gave me
terrible stomach pains.
So hopefully, because the menopace have everything in them and not just B vitamins,
things will be better....fingers crossed anyway.....

[jaypo]

Hi jillydoll,do you know is menopace ok for the whole breast cancer history thing? I have seen it before & I can't remember for the life of me I didn't buy it,does it say anything on the packet?
Thank you.............again ❤️

Vitamin supplements are no replacement for a good diet but I know that i am better when I take B12( I'm vegetarian) and Omega 3 oils. I also take Calcium with vitamin D and magnesium to help look after my bones.
I am always sceptical about these tv programmes as, like most studies and journalist articles, they just look at things from one persons angle - not the the total picture.
My mantra: Eat well and supplement as and when you feel it is appropriate but never overdo anything. DG x

Hello Dancinggirl,


You should take vitamin K2 along with vitamin D and calcium to avoid calcium buildup in the arteries. If you already are and just forgot to say, please disregard the post.

I eat a lot of nuts which are high in vitamin K but thanks for your advice.

I like nuts & raisins but I'm guessing I should take b12 on top of my daily all in one?never been an issue before,I've always been a healthy veggie but now with all this menopause nonsense 😡

[Conolly]

I eat a lot of nuts which are high in vitamin K but thanks for your advice.

Nuts are ok if you don't take vitamin D+calcium supplements (higher dose than naturally found in food). If you take them it would be advisable to supplement with K2 as well.
Vitamin K2 is only found in animal-sourced foods and certain fermented dishes. Small amounts are also produced by your gut bacteria.

Hi Jaypo.
I can't read the box as it's all been ripped, so sorry about that. 
I've had a terrible stomach today, think I spoke too soon on my post earlier,
so I think I'm stopping them, same thing happened to me the last time I  was on
vitamins.....don't think I'll bother again with them, you just don't need anything else
to be bothered about do you? Lol....we've got enough already.......lol
