Recommended Supplements
Consult your physician before adding any supplement to your diet, what you need to do is ask them to monitor your levels with regular blood work. That is what my specialist and my primary physician are doing for me, here are the ones to have your physician keep track of.
- B12 is often the most common supplement vegans are low in, so this is something to discuss with your doctor.
- Vitamin D
- Omega-3
- Zinc
- Iron
- Calcium
- Magnesium
Vitamin D3, B12, Calcium, and Iron are what my blood work shows that I am deficient in. That does not mean everyone on a vegan diet will experience the same, you see my immune system is not absorbing enough nutrients from my food, which might not be happening to you.
