- pyre 11y agoYour source doesn't even agree with the assertion that the nutrients can only be animal-derived (at least for some of them).
- cartographic 11y agoThat's not a list of nutrients that can only be animal-derived. It's a list of nutrients that are rarely (or never) found in plant foods. Vitamin B-12, for instance, is bacteria-derived. It's easy to obtain via supplements and fortified plant-based foods.
