Our immune system is extremely important to our health. It helps get rid of infections and helps us heal faster. For it to function properly we need a lot of nutrients and the older we get the more we need, but our body does not absorb nutrients as well as it did when we were younger; so what to do. I am not a believer in taking lots of pills. I prefer to get my nutrients from natural sources and healthy drinks in between meals can provide a big boost to your immune system.
Many people who do not eat any animal products are worried about a B12 deficiency. The recommended daily requirement for B12 is very low, approximately 2.4 micrograms per day. You should try to get about 10 micrograms per day or about 2,000 micrograms per week if you are taking supplements. Since B12 is stored in the liver, kidneys and muscle tissue you do not need to take B12 every day. A B12 deficiency actually takes many years to develop and it is rare to see a deficiency in someone on a vegan diet.
