What do vegans have difficulty obtaining?

vitamin B-12 Most soy products have added vitamin B12. Vegans may have difficulty obtaining iron as they don't eat blood--this can be remedied by eating spinach, oatmeal, beans, raisins and food cooked in cast iron. Include vitamin C in your diet as that helps you absorb iron. Protein can be problematic as vegans eat far less protein than those who eat animal products. A vegan can get adequate protein from nuts and seeds, whole grains, bean/bean products and a variety of vegetables (almost all have some protein). Calcium can be problematic but vegans can get calcium from tofu, green leafy vegetables like collards, sesame seeds.

AnswerVitamin B12 is hard to find in a vegetarian diet. It is commonly found in meat. Vitamin B12 is essential for eye health and studies show it improves brain functions among other benefits. Adequate protein intake may also be a problem for vegetarians. Try a supplement like Royal Greens Ultra which contains spirulina-a high protein food-along with other natural ingredients that will give you all the nutrients you need, including Vitamin B12. Iron and calcium may be a good idea if you don't get enough in your regular diet.
