Hello,
here in Germany we do not have even one vegan B12-supplement für toddlers/children. The shops, I've searched, only sell vegan multivitamines, but I don't know why I should give my child all this vitamines, he get's everything except B12 (at the moment he gets this, too, because he is still breastfeeding a couple of tim a day :-)). So I am looking for a vegan supplement, which does not contain so many other vitamins. Does anybody here know, where to buy this?

Thanks very much!
Tanja

PS: These multi-vitamins often contain 100% (!) of the value, a child needs. Iron can cause health damages if you consume more than you need. I think, this is very dangerous...

you are probably best to order online. veganessentials.com would have something most likely but I don't know how much it would cost to ship to Germany! Good luck!

Hi Krista,
thanks very much - but veganessentials is on e of the shops I've looked before and they also only have these multivitamine-things für children... :-/

I don't know if you can find nutritional yeast in Germany (I know I couldn't find it anywhere in the UK) but that's my sons main source. He loves mac and 'cheese' made with yeast sauce. Most soy milks, juices and cereals are fortified too in the US but I'm not sure what the EU requirements are for that sort of thing.
