Do I need to take a multivitamin?

A varied plant-based diet can offer a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, but you may find that you need a non-food source of extra micronutrients. The answer really depends on your individual nutritional needs, your lifestyle, and health history. So it’s really a question that’s best for a healthcare provider.

We usually keep in mind B12 and Vitamin D when making food choices, and it may be helpful to talk with your healthcare provider about them as well. They can be challenging to find in plant-based sources. Please consult with your doctor to decide if any supplements are necessary for you!
