Vegan diet
Critical nutrients in vegan diets
A vegan diet can be designed to meet your needs. To do this, it is important to keep a targeted eye on some nutrients and to make your food selection varied.
Which nutrients deserve attention?
Particularly important are vitamin B12 and - depending on the choice of food and individual situation - iodine, vitamin D, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.
Individual care
Actual needs and supplies vary from person to person. Fortified foods, appropriate supplements and, if necessary, medically ordered laboratory tests can help assess care.
Conclusion
A well-planned vegan diet requires some knowledge and attention. However, this applies to any form of nutrition if it is to be balanced in the long term.
