Which vitamin to take as a vegan?
When you follow a plant-based diet, it can be more difficult to get all the nutrients you need. For example, it is important to pay close attention to your omega-3 intake. This is because as a vegan you do not eat fish, but fatty fish is a great source of omega-3. As the name suggests, there are three different types of omega-3 fatty acids: ALA, EPA and DHA. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal functioning of the heart 1, DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision 2 and plays a role in the functioning of the brain. 2 Omega-3 is therefore certainly indispensable!
By the way, did you know that fish get their omega 3 from the algae they eat? This makes the fish a 'middleman', so to speak. The Premium Vegan Omega 3 from Goldea Health is made from these algae. This way you avoid the fish as a middleman, but you still get your omega 3 from a natural source.
In addition to omega 3, vitamin B12 is also a very important vitamin that vegans should supplement. Why that is and how you can do that you can read in this blog .
Finally, it is recommended that vegans take vitamin D3 supplements. The largest sources of vitamin D3 are animal products, such as fatty fish. Vitamin D3 is very important for our bones, our immune system and for the production of cells and tissues. |
Which vitamin do you need every day?
It is important that you get enough of each vitamin. As mentioned earlier, the amount of each vitamin you need varies from person to person. However, there are a number of vitamins and minerals that almost everyone has a deficiency of. This is partly due to the stress society in which we live and the depletion of the earth, which means that we no longer get all the nutrients through our food. These are vitamin D3, vitamin C, omega 3 in the form of algae oil and magnesium. Because these are vitamins that many people can use every day, we offer these Daily Essentials in a package. This makes it extra easy and also affordable!
