Bridging Nutritional Gaps in a Vegan Diet with Good Guru Supplements

Vegan Diet: The Lesser-Known Nutrient Deficiencies
A well-planned vegan diet can be extremely healthy, offering benefits such as improved heart health, lower cancer risk, better blood pressure control, and reduced chances of developing diabetes. It may also support colon health, slow down age-related conditions, and promote sustainable living.
But while veganism comes with many health and environmental benefits, it is important to be aware of the potential nutrient deficiencies that can occur.
Common Nutrient Gaps in Vegan Diets
Some of the nutrients that vegans may struggle to get in sufficient amounts include:
- Vitamin B12
- Calcium
- Iron
- Vitamin D
- Selenium
- Iodine
- Taurine & Creatine
- Omega-3 fatty acids
- Vitamins A & K
Additionally, many plant-based proteins lack all nine essential amino acids, which can make it harder to meet protein requirements. Beyond nutrition, vegans may face social challenges, like limited dining options while travelling, and economic challenges, as high-quality vegan products can sometimes be costly.
