Frequently Asked Questions
A well-rounded vegetarian diet can provide the majority of nutrients that we need to maintain health and vitality, so the recommendations will vary depending on the diet and needs of the individual. Important nutrients to consider would be a vitamin D supplement, especially in the autumn and winter, iron and vitamin B12. Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin and vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation.
It’s perfectly possible for those following a well-planned vegetarian diet to obtain all of the nutrients they need from food sources. However a vegetarian multivitamin supplement can be a convenient way to round out any nutritional gaps in the diet.
