Sorry if this is a dumb question..
I am currently eating more vegan and hear a lot about getting your b12.
Can a multi-vitamin be enough or would I eventually need to add b vitamins?
I would prefer taking just one vitamin pill during the day.lol

Here is some info on vegans and b12, also some common b12 myths.

I am not a nutritionist, but my opinion for what it's worth (maybe $.02 )... if you aren't fully vegan (said you are "eating more vegan") I doubt b12 is something you really need to worry about yet.

I don't take any supplements, but I do eat food fortified with b12 on a daily basis, including soymilk and nutritional yeast. I would think a multi-vitamin with b12 should be fine if you feel the need to supplement, as long as you don't have a problem with absorption.

As for a more vegan diet.. I wasn't sure how to word it.lol
I guess I am eating "vegan" since I'm currently following a Mc.Dougall plan.

On the multi-vitamin I have, it does have b12 in it.. (women's one a day)That should be good enough I'd think?
I've never been one to take vitamins but am trying to make sure I have all I need now that I'm getting closer to 40. I'm 38, Yikes!lol

Thanks Shananigans!

Most brands of nutritional yeast have b12. It comes in powder and flakes - I use the powder most often. My favorite use is sprinkling over popcorn. Before I started eating dairy again, I used it in a delish "cheese" sauce.
