Healthy morning,
As a pure vegetarian diet , it’s important to ensure you’re getting enough vitamin B12 and omega 3 fatty acid, as these nutrients are primarily found in animal products
Vitamin B12 :
Vitamin B12 is crucial for nerve function, red blood cell production and DNA synthesis.
Since it’s almost exclusively in animal based foods , vegetarian often need to rely on fortified foods or supplements
1. Cyanocobalamin :
It’s cost effective supplements, and it’s widely available
In both tablets and sublingual forms
2. Methyl cobalamin:
It’s bio active form of vitamin B12 , which some people
Prefer because it may easier for the body to absorb.it’s
Typically a bit more expensive.
Dosage :
The recommended daily intake of vitamin B12 for adults is about 2.4 mcg .
Omega -3 fatty acids:
Since omega -3 fatty acids ( EPA and DHA) are primarily
Found in fatty fish , vegetarians can turn to plant based sources of omega-3 are algae derived supplements
1. Algal oil :
Algal oil supplements provide both EPA and DHA , the
Omega-3s found in fish. This is a plant based source
2. Flaxseed or chia seeds oil :
These contain ALA , which your body can convert into
EPA and DHA
Dosage:
For omega 3s a typically dosage is around 250 -500 mg
Of combined EPA and DHa per day
Some products suggest:
For vitamin B12
Nature made B12
Jarrow formula methyl B12
Solgar sublingual vitamin B12
For omega 3
