Greggoires Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hi Guys,Apologies if this is a topic that has been covered already. but.. Ive recently become,or rather come back to, a plant based diet and I want to know what the essential vitamin/mineral/supplements I should be taking to support a healthy, lean, mean plant powered machine.I'm trying to add some muscle over the next few months and want to ensure that I am doing everything correctly to help my efforts.I try to get most of my nutrtional profile by eating a broad range of whole foods but I understand that there are some things you just have to take to support a vegan lifestyle.So other than B12, zinc and a good plant based protein powder is there anything else i should incorporate? Thanks in advance HapPEAness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen_Horse Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Personally I like taking B12, Calcium, Vitamin D, and DHA. I will also rotate the Calcium/D with a standard multivitamin sometimes. The DHA is rather expensive at $30/mo, but the others are pretty darn cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stcalico Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 B12. Calcium if you don't eat at least 3 cups of greens per day or fortified 'milk'. And for me personally, I started to add iodized salt. I never cut out salt, but after I had issues, I realized I was not getting anywhere near enough iodine. I could buy an iodine supp... but 1/4 tsp of salt's easy too.
