Should You Be Supplementing On A Plant-Based Diet?

Supplementation is a common concern for both new and experienced plant-based eaters. 

Incorporating the right supplements into your daily routine can seamlessly complement your lifestyle, filling any nutritional gaps in your diet. Let's explore some key vitamins and minerals to ensure you're getting all the nutrients you need.

Key Nutrients for a Plant-Based Diet:

Vitamin B12: Crucial for preventing fatigue, weakness and nerve damage. Supplementation is often necessary due to the challenge of obtaining enough from plant-based sources.

Vitamin D3: Important for bone health, immune function and mood regulation. Since it's difficult to get enough from food alone, supplementation is often necessary.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Essential for heart health, brain function and reducing inflammation. Plant-based sources may lack EPA and DHA found in fish.

Iron: Vital for transporting oxygen and producing energy in the body. Supplementation, especially with Vitamin C, is essential due to the demands of modern life. 

Calcium: An important mineral for bone strength, muscle function and nerve signalling. Opting for plant-based supplementation ensures adequate intake, avoiding the limitations of dairy products.
