Important Vitamins For Vegans
It can be difficult to include certain vitamins and minerals in your diet when you're vegan. Here are some nutrients that you may need to supplement with while on a vegan diet.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in energy levels, metabolism, and immune function. Too little can lead to anaemia, nervous system damage, or infertility. Some B12 fortified foods include plant milks, soy products and nutritional yeast.
Iron
Iron is crucial for maintaining healthy blood. Vegans with low iron should try to eat more beans, dried fruit, cereals, nuts and some plant milks to lower their risk of fatigue and decreased immune function.
Omega-3
Alpha-linolenic (ALA) Omega-3s fatty acids cannot be produced by our bodies. So it is important that vegans include flax seeds, chia seeds, walnuts, hemp seeds, and soybeans in their diet.
Zinc
Zinc is important for metabolism, immune function, and the repair of body cells. To maximize your intake, eat a variety of zinc-rich foods including whole grains, wheat germ, tofu, sprouted breads, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
