There are more patients deciding to try vegan or vegetarian diets . It is a very healthy way of eating for some individuals. There are many studies that this dietary lifestyle leads to a reduction in cancer, heart disease and even diabetes. We do know for years that a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle lacks vitamin B12. People who follow a vegan lifestyle should definitely supplement with B12. I would recommend a methylated B12 since 40 % of the population carries the gene MTHFR.
The nutrient Carnosine is found in animal derived food. Carnosine is very important for muscle function. We do know that beta alanine can increase carnosine Other supplements that need to be considered are taurine, DHA, Vitamin D3 ( although you can get from mushrooms) and the heme iron.
