While it is true that plants contain essential fatty acids, there are
absolutely no plant sources of vitamin B12. The only way for a strict
vegetarian to obtain vit B12 is from dietary supplements (tablets), or
fortified foods like Marmite. If you dont consume either you will
eventually suffer from symptoms of hypovitaminosis B12. We need very
small amounts of B12 and the body normally stores quite a bit. Once
you stop your intake of B12 you may observe symptoms after about 4
years.
