    B12 is water soluble and, as a senior, is one I'm especially
    interested in. See http://www.veganhealth.org/b12/dig

    "The average nonvegetarian stores 2,000-3,000 ug B12 while losing
    only about 3 ug/day. About 60% of the total amount of B12 in the body
    is stored in the liver and 30% is stored in the muscles."
    (They give their references.)

  2. Has anyone read Lyle MacWilliams Guide to Nutritional Supplements?

    It ranks 500 supplement products sold in the US and Canada...the
    majority of the products sold are not worth taking...
