# Do I need to take a vitamin B12 supplement on the Planter meal plan?

Yes. It is important to take a vitamin B12 supplement when you follow a diet based predominantly or exclusively (as in the case of Planter) on plant-based foods. Vitamin B12 is formed by bacteria (not animals!) and is important, among other things, for producing red blood cells and maintaining a healthy nervous system.
