| 0:00.0 | Hi and welcome to the Chickpeeps podcast. This episode is brought to you in partnership with Vivo Life. |
| 0:06.8 | Just as no two vegans are the same, no two vegan diets are the same. But whether you're a |
| 0:10.9 | gym going vegan or a junk food vegan, every diet needs a B12 supplement. About 40% of the population |
| 0:16.4 | are estimated to be B12 deficient, but vegans are at the greatest risk, with one study finding that 92% of us who didn't supplement were depleted. Obviously, we don't want anyone to get sick while living a vegan lifestyle, not just because we care about you guys, but also because it's up to each of us to rock our veganism and show others how easy and healthy it can be. For that reason, we've teamed up with Vivo Life, who've been awarded |
| 0:37.7 | the best vegan supplement brand two years running at the Veg First Awards. Most supplements |
| 0:42.3 | provide B12 in a synthetic form, scienca balamin, but Vivo Life supplement provides the three |
| 0:48.2 | natural types of B12 in liquid form, meaning it's more easily absorbed into the body. An entirely |
| 0:53.7 | vegan company, Vivo |
