Vegan Nutrients Absolutely Necessary for Health
(Recommended that one MUST supplement with these, as modern diets do not provide these in enough quantity, like prehistoric vegan diets once did) |
| B-12 |
Vitamin that is found on unwashed produce, and in dirt, but better to supplement... not supplementing can lead to brain issues and even death |
| Omega-3 Fatty Acid |
- Best source is ground flax seed (or flax seed oil, which, unlike the ground seeds, can be rendered useless by temperature) - at least 2 tablespoons / day
- also a good source of omega-3 is walnuts (has 1/7 the amount of omega-3 that flax seeds do)
- olive and canola oil are good
- avoid safflower, sunflower, hydrogenated, and corn oil
- deficiency can lead to circulatory / heart issues, adhd, poor skin and poor wound healing, among other things
