Veganuary Supplements: Vitamins and Minerals You Need on a Vegan Diet

Going vegan overnight can perhaps feel like an information overload. There’s so much advice around protein, nutrition and eating a varied diet. For example: what is missing from a plant-based diet and do you need to supplement? Do you need a special winter boost? Are there specific vitamins for men and women?

We’ve selected some of our best plant-based supplements to support you on your Veganuary journey whether you’re looking for an immunity boost, some essential vegan multivitamins, or specific support for things like iron or omega-3.

A one-stop-shop to give your mind and body the support it needs to thrive, multivitamins are a quick and simple way to win some peace of mind alongside a varied, healthy diet. All contain the essential for vegans and vegetarians Vitamins D and B12.

Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid that the body cannot produce on its own that helps support brain function, heart health, blood pressure and more. As it can be difficult to find easily on a plant-based diet, supplementing is a must. Dietary sources for vegans and vegetarians include flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts.
