It is fine to take vitamins. Vegetarians, if healthy will manufacture their own B`12. However, the vitamins that you would like are called "food grown" vitamins or "food based" vitamins. They are manufactured from food and do not need to be taken with food to be effective. You can check "Rainbow Light" products or similar companies and find vegetarian vitamins with B12 sources from yeast and some grains(like wheatberries).
