Vegan Supplements — Plant-Based Vitamins & Minerals

Most conventional supplements use gelatin capsules, lanolin-derived vitamin D3, or fish-oil omega-3. This range covers the plant-based equivalents — vegan D3 from lichen, algal omega-3, B12, iron, magnesium, zinc and multivitamins in vegetarian capsules or powder form.

Nutrients worth paying attention to on a plant-based diet

• Vitamin B12 — not reliably available from plant foods. The one most nutritionists suggest supplementing.
• Vitamin D — widely low across India regardless of diet, particularly for indoor workers.
• Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) — algal oil provides these directly, rather than relying on conversion from flax or chia.
• Iron and B12 together — worth testing rather than guessing.

Test before supplementing where you can — a blood panel tells you what you actually need instead of what you assume. This is general information, not medical advice; talk to your doctor about what is right for you.
