Vitamin, Mineral, & Protein Recommendations
I have started a vegetarian diet and was wondering if there are vitamin and/or mineral supplements I should consider to replace what I may not be getting on a vegetarian diet?
I think I'm getting enough protein from a egg whites, collagen protein and plant based protein powder. |

Hi MajGas, and welcome to the forum! If you are following a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet (one that includes eggs and dairy products), the Vegetarian Society UK has published this food guide: https://www.vegsoc.org/wp-content/up...ie_MAR2018.pdf . If you are following a vegan vegetarian diet (one that excludes eggs and dairy products), the Vegan Society UK has published this food guide and recommendations: https://www.vegansociety.com/resourc...ition-overview . Egg whites and plant-based protein powder are concentrated sources of protein! Collagen is also a protein, but it's not vegetarian; it's only present in animal tissues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen . |
B12 https://www.forksoverknives.com/vita...ns-answered-2/
When I first went veg'n I did like Alive Ultra shake. It's taste is debatable- like vanilla orange to me, I really liked it! Not saying you need anything, but in the beginning I think it can help when you can't instantly think of food you want |
To emphasize what David mentioned... Collagen is not vegetarian. It's derived from nonhuman skin, hooves, connective tissue, digestive organs and bones.

Herbal Vape
Along with a healthy diet, I take a vape pen. This vape pen consists of vaporized vitamin B12. For the vegan vitamin B12 supplements is very important, as we can’t take any animal-based foods. So you can try this. This vape pen helps to regulate mood, promote natural energy production and prevents fatigue.
