Vegans and Vegetarians Need Multivitamins – Myth or Fact?
It's a fact! To maintain a balanced plant-based diet and get all the nutrients your body needs, it is highly recommended that you supplement your current diet with multivitamins to fill in the daily gaps. Especially iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and vitamin D, as these are present in vegetarian foods in lower quantities, leading to a possible risk of nutrient deficiencies!
Signs of Nutrient Deficiency:
Why Do We Need Multivitamins?
Our bodies require specific vitamins every day for optimal function, especially water-soluble vitamins that are easily lost through sweat, saliva, and urine. Many vitamins are also sensitive to heat and light, meaning they are often destroyed during the cooking process or exposure to air. That is why taking a daily multivitamin is essential to ensure you get the full spectrum of nutrients needed for a healthy, active life.
Essential Nutrients for Women
Women have specific nutritional needs, and a well-formulated multivitamin can help fill in the gaps. A top-quality multivitamin should include key vitamins like A, D, E, and K, along with essential minerals such as iron, calcium, folate, and iodine.
