Top 6 Supplements Every Vegan Should Take To Achieve Optimal Health

Vitamin B12

B12 is an essential nutrient and probably the most important supplement every vegan should be taking. 

It occurs naturally in animal products but can be found as a supplement or in foods such as nutritional yeast.

According to some studies, nori, a type of seaweed, is high in vitamin B 12 and other nutrients like polyunsaturated fatty acids and iron.

B12 is essential for red blood cell formation, anemia prevention, healthy nerve function, and protein metabolism.

It may also improve memory, brain and heart health as well as boost your energy levels, 


Calcium

Calcium is another essential yet deficient nutrient among most vegans.

It’s crucial for the formation and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, good heart health, and better muscle function.

Although dark green vegetables are known to offer a good amount of calcium, studies show that vegans tend to have calcium levels lower than the recommended intake. 

This is because most vegetables like spinach and swiss chard are high in oxalate, a plant compound that makes it difficult for the body to absorb calcium.

Some highly absorbable sources include cruciferous vegetables like kale and broccoli, watercress, bok coy, and chickpeas.

You can also obtain calcium from fortified foods like calcium-fortified plant milk.

If you’re not getting approximately 700mg of calcium from foods on a daily basis, you may want to include a supplement.

Take note that your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium hence our next essential nutrient.
