Huel contains 100% of your B12 requirements assuming you have 2000 calories with a day. If you have less than that a day supplements might be a good idea, assuming you don’t get B12 from elsewhere in your diet. check here for more details: > **[About the Vitamins & Minerals in Huel](https://uk.huel.com/pages/about-the-vitamins-minerals-in-huel)** > > Vitamins and minerals, also known as micronutrients, are necessary for disease prevention and good health, and 26 of them are essential for humans to include in their diets to, at least, minimum levels.

Yeap Matt is spot on. It also depends on how much b12 your tablets contain. The most reliable way to get b12 from vegan foods is through fortified foods e.g. plant milks and meat alternatives such as tofu and ---

The B12 I buy has something like 4000% of your nrv or rda, which is handy as I never remember to take them, so it doesn’t matter if I skip a day or two. Or have a one Huel day, or no Huel day, rather than my usual 2.
