A member asked:
Do you need to take supplements if you're vegan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vegans: And vegetarians in general are at risk for low B12. Consider taking a SUBLINGUAL form of B12. Protein can also become low. Be under the guidance of your doc or a nutritionist if you are vegan for safety sake. Peace and good health.
