In terms of actual supplements, I take Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D.

However, I also maintain a conscious diet to ensure I get my other essentials, and the most important contributor to this is my morning smoothie, which consists of:

  • Bananas (Potassium, Magnesium, Vitamins B6, C)
  • Berries (Antioxidants, Vitamins C, K, Iron, Zinc)
  • Almonds (Choline, Protein, Antioxidants, Vitamins B2, B3, B7, E, Zinc)
  • Spirulina (Iron, Calcium, Vitamins A, B6, B9, K, Antioxidants and more)
  • Hemp powder (Omega-3, Omega-6, all nine essential amino acids)
  • Pea powder (Protein, essential amino acids)
  • Oat milk (Vitamins B1, B3, B5, B9, Calcium, Zinc, Iron, Copper)

Who needs vitamins when you can point your anus directly at the morning sun and absorb it's power directly into your colon.

B12 and vit D in the winter months

[–] owatnext@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

B12, since I'm vegan. Rather be safe than sorry; anyone who does not eat meat should take B12.

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

B12 is supplemented in meat products anyways.

Everyone is better off skipping the medium and taking directly.

Never understood this since I eat so much nooch it makes my wee glow, always thought other vegans would be the same

I try to incorporate it where I can! But the flavor gets me if I don't have it in a certain way. Too... fake cheesy? Like cheap nacho cheese is what it reminds me of.

Edit: to != too

[–] LSNLDN@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah if you think of it as cheese it’s not gonna get you far. I kinda treat it more like nutty dust. lol

[–] owatnext@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does the nutritional yeast you buy taste nutty? I wish mine did lol.

[–] LSNLDN@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

Nahh really it tastes like nooch, but cheesy/nutty idk how else to describe it

[–] nachtigall@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

I couldn’t find fortified nooch so far :/

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

ha ha ha, that concerningly bright yellow, right?

[–] LSNLDN@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah haha it’s always a surprise, still

[–] Linssiili@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

B12, D and omega-3.

[–] p1z@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

D3, B12, folate and iron

[–] not_amm@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

B12 and Omega 3 from linseed

[–] Floey@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Either B12 or multi depending on how I'm eating (how much produce I can afford), just one pill either way though. I don't really eat fortified products because I make my own milk and prefer unfortified nooch as when I use it I use a lot.

[–] KaleDaddy@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

D3 in the winter. Omega3, i get my B12 from fortified nootch
