B12-rich foods
This is part 3 of 3 in my series on B12.
As a reminder:
- Many people are deficient in vitamin B12.
- B12 is utterly essential for ongoing health, from pre-birth onward.
What foods contain good B12 levels?
There is a lot of misinformation about how B12 from microalgae isn’t actually bioavailable for humans. That is true for all but one species. Viable, proven-effective B12 (based on scientific studies) is found in a wild cyanobacteria, AFA from Klamath Lake. A single gram of this superfood offers more than 100% of your daily requirement of B12.
Quality and Safety
Because AFA is a wild-harvested food–not farmed–it is essential that you use a source that is proven safe via 3rd party testing. New Earth’s entire facility is NSF certified to GMP standards. Additionally, they are routinely tested by their organic certifier and the state of Oregon. Watch the video below to see why New Earth algae is the only algae I will use for myself and my family.
