32 year vegetarian. Never had to take a supplement.
- ntSean 5y ago7 year vegetarian. Recently found out I’m low on iron. Probably because I don’t eat fortified cereals. As a male, I’ve been told not to worry about my Iron intake- but that’s bad advice. Best is not to generalise and instead get a blood test to check vitamin levels. Talk to your GP.
- ianai 5y agoAgree. The people who successfully transition to a significant diet change like vegan/vegetarian probably already see their primary care physicians. Hence they’re more likely to know they’re deficient. A major diet change would be journaling and testing glucose closely to see what spikes and doesn’t. This is more of a 80/90 thing though and not for everyone. Personally, I avoid fortified foods because I supplement with higher quality forms elsewhere. Neon yellow urine is not right.
