Being vegan with a partner that's vegetarian: supplements?
Posted: Fri Nov 24, 2023 3:39 pm
Hi!
I am transitioning from being a vegetarian to being vegan. I'm trying to be prepared and follow the advice given in the Vegan Challenge by vegan dietitians. As such, I bought the recommended supplements (B12, Omega3/DHA, Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc/D3). Might be relevant: I live in the Netherlands and substitutes for meat are sometimes B12 enriched and margarine is vitamin D enriched.
My partner will remain vegetarian for the time being. Because our dinners will be vegan, would it still be wise for her to also take supplements?
