Brief Answer: Vitamin B12 supplements... Detailed Answer: Hi, I would suggest you to check you serum vitamin B12 levels. Though vegetarian are prone to vitamin B12 deficiency not all have deficiency. Get the test done and if they are low, you can use vitamin b12 supplements such as meganeurone once a day for 2-4 weeks. That being said, milk and milk products and fortified cereals such as cornflakes, oats and so on will have added vitamin b12. You can include them into your diet. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications. Regards

Brief Answer: Evion LC is poor source of vitamin b12... Detailed Answer: Hi, Evion LC hardly contents any vitamin b12 in it. Meganeurone, neurobion, unicobal, cobadex czx are some of the commonly available supplements that are rich source of vitamin b12. You can consider these supplements after discussing with your treating doctor. Off course if there is an evidence on blood test. If you have no issues taking egg, please add them. It is a good source of vitamin b12. Hope this helps. You are free to ask for clarifications before closing this discussion. Regards
