Description
This study examined the vitamin B12 intake of 1530 women of reproductive age on a vegan diet in Australia, using an online survey which included a food frequency questionnaire and assessment of supplemental intake. Relationships were found between adequacy of intake and participants' characteristics, including knowledge attitudes and beliefs relating to vitamin B12. The limitations of current methodology for assessing vitamin B12 status and of considering supplemental intake as equivalent to intake from food were examined. The information gained from this study provides direction to interventions aimed at ensuring adequacy of vitamin B12 intake in people on plant-based diets.
