Collection: Vegan & Vegetarian

A vegan diet offers many benefits, but it often lacks certain nutrients. Vegans may be deficient in vitamin B12, calcium, iron, and zinc. Additionally, vitamin D, calcium, and iodine may also be insufficient in a vegan diet. While a vegetarian diet is supported by scientific evidence for promoting good health, boosting the immune system, and reducing disease risk, vegetarians also need to pay attention to specific nutrients to maintain their health. They may be particularly susceptible to vitamin B12 deficiency.
