If as strict vegetarian or vegan you are experiencing symptoms like low energy, brittle nails, brittle hair, depression, or chronic fatigue these might be signs of a vitamin B12 deficiency. So, you want to make sure you get your vitamin B12 serum levels checked regularly and you may need to take a vitamin B12 supplement.
The cheapest way to get our B12 is probably one 2,500 micrograms sublingual chewable or liquid supplement of Cyanocobalamin once a week. This stuff is dirt cheap. You can find a 20-year supply online for about 40 bucks. All the B12 our body needs for $2 a year. Of course, the stuff doesn't last 20 years. There's a four-year expiration date so share it with some friends. Another important vitamin for strict vegetarians or vegans is vitamin D. The only food sources you can get vitamin D from are fatty fish, cod liver oil, and eggs. So, for strict vegetarians and vegans, taking a vitamin D supplement can be a really good idea, also.Posted from my blog with SteemPress : http://smart-diet.loveandjoy.net/2019/03/17/do-vegetarians-need-supplements/
