I do agree basically with Debrah.
I have taken a B complex supplement for many years now. That includes B12. At my last blood test I was not deficient in B12.

Another thing to consider is vitamin D3. There are vegan sources of D3 available, which can be useful in the winter if you live in a temperate zone. But there is plenty of D3 available free from sunlight on the skin. That is minus sun block.
So I always make sure I get some sunshine on my skin also, and the safest exposure is for me, a white skinned person in northern hemisphere -about 30 minutes of NO sun block before putting it on (late spring/summer/early autumn) Black or darker skinned people need more exposure.
Sun safety and fear of cancer has us all paranoid about one of nature's blessings; vitamin D3 from the sunlight.

D3 of course is also available in meat and fish.
