How Not To Die has been an amazing resource for me in my last 1.5 years on the vegan diet. I trust Michael Gregor and 100% recommend an algae-based Omega 3 supplement for that good EPA and DHA.

Here are the 2.5 supplements that I have been taking to achieve my satisfactory blood test results:

Multivitamin:

Omega 3:

D3 - I only take this in the wintertime.

Its really hard, i completely understand. You are not a lost cause, there is something out there that will work for you, you just have to find it. Also be sure to work on identifying any lifestyle factors that may be contributing. This includes physical health issues such as vitamin D deficiency, thyroid hormone imbalance, vitamin/mineral deficiency, lack of omega 3s in your diet (a person with depression should be taking 1-2g of a high quality omega 3 supplement daily (with a meal) which contains roughly around 60% EPA, 40% DHA. heres one that fits that description, a person with depression should take 3 per day. For those people (like myself) who eat a plant based diet, i take these which are omega 3s extracted from algae (fish have omega 3s because they eat algae). I also take a vitamin D3 supplement daily because i can't get enough sun naturally, and i keep a calcium/magnesium/zinc complex and multi-vitamin in my cabinet to take a few times a week on those days when I have been really busy and haven't had time to eat until i get home late, and know that the one meal I'm having cant provide me with everything i need so I'll take some calcium and a multi after dinner to just throw in some of those important minerals and vitamins that my brain/body need to keep itself running smoothly.

I know my diet isn’t amazing so I typically take a multi vitamin, iron supplement, vegan omega 3 supplement, vegan D3 supplement, and biotin (for non health related reasons).

Edit -
I can’t remember what my multivitamin is but here’s the other ones. I got them all off amazon

Iron:

u/sirwalterd · 2 pointsr/vegan

From my research, you are going to want something with EPA and DHA. The most cost effective is probably from Amazon. Avoid supplements that have Omega 6 though, because it is antagonistic to Omega 3 absorbtion. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074N5JZK8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ZXKIDbWPAZG91

u/GinanEatsPlants · 1 pointr/veganfitness

Definitely take B12. That's what I've decided based on my research.

I do also take a vegan omega 3 supplement but there's some disagreement among plant-based doctors on that one. This is the one I take: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074N5JZK8

u/larkasaur · 1 pointr/FoodAllergies

That's weird. Maybe it's actually an allergy to fish protein in the omega-3 oil.

You could try vegan omega-3 made from algae, and see if you still have a reaction. Seeds and nuts are allergenic anyway, so it's hard to tell from that.

u/DeepFriendOnions · 1 pointr/vegan

I've been taking this one for a while. It has a good EPA/DHA amount for the price per serving: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074N5JZK8

I've also heard this one is pretty good: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LL7AXE

Unfortunately, you'll find the algal supplements are noticeably pricier than their flax seed counterparts.

u/zaltod · 1 pointr/worldnews

You’re right, something like this is only 50 cents a day.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074N5JZK8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1Vn4CbBJH1STV

We buy ones that are more expensive than most but that’s because of the gas and bloating that some of the others give her.

The algae experiment is all about growing our own food. Might as well try something new and see if it works for us. Either way it will be a fun thing to try.

u/Projektdoom · 1 pointr/vegan

I don't take it for Asthma, only as a general supplement for nutritional purposes, but I use THIS brand off of amazon.

Algae based DHA and EPA. Might be worth trying if you want to get rid of or at least reduce your fish intake.

>I have been contemplating switching but I don't even know where to start.

First of all welcome to the club! Here, watch these two videos of a vegan bodybuilder making cheap, simple and high quality vegan meals to have an idea of what you can do:

>but what about everything else? should i be taking vitamin supplements? should i make sure to eat a huge variety of foods to accommodate for certain nutrients

First B12:

Vegans commonly have one main nutrient of concern and that's B12, vegan products are gaining more space on the shelves so now we have several fortified foods with B12 but you have to understand how B12 works in your body so in the end of the day the simplest way is just taking a supplement but it's possible to get it without any supplemention whatsoever depeding on your diet:

"To get the full benefit of a vegan diet, vegans should do one of the following:"

"Eat fortified foods two or three times a day to get at least three micrograms (mcg or µg) of B12 a day or

Take one B12 supplement daily providing at least 10 micrograms or

Take a weekly B12 supplement providing at least 2000 micrograms."

https://veganhealth.org/what-every-vegan-should-know-about-vitamin-b12/

Here, an exemple of a B12 supplement:

Ômega-3:

This is a highly contentious subject in general, there are several recent studies that disavowed positive effects of omega-3 supplements from fish. As a vegan there are two routes that you can take, you can add 20g of ground flaxseed or ground chia seeds on your diet or you can take a EPA/DHA supplement from algae:

Have in mind that there are no absolute certainty that omega-3 supplements are helpful but dieticians will usually recommend to you in the name of "playing safe". It's up to you what to do:

Additionally, benefits of ALA:

Non-mainstream view on omega-3:

Calcium

Since you'll be cutting dairy from your diet I advise you to put some plant-based milk as a replacement. You'll have no qualms with calcium and plant-based milks are fortified with several vitamins and micronutrients.

Overall:

Although people talk a lot about the difficulty of getting other nutrients, I think it's super difficult to have problems with any other nutrient. To have a better idea, get an app called "cronometer" to monitor you micros and if you just eat normally you'll see that's almost impossible to have problems with other nutrients. You should also check out Dr. Greger "daily dozen" app.

Personally, I don't take omega-3 supplements just ALA everyday and I eat fortified foods and sometimes I just eat a B12 gummybear for safety.

You can also disregard all advise and just follow the guidelines of actual health professionals:

Here's one vegan omega-3 supplement

I think it's possible to go without a B complex, but I supplement advice from a trusted friend, a Phd MD neurologist who noted that a large number of his vegetarian or vegan patients came to him because of conditions caused by B9 deficiency. I don't know if that's the case, but I've been taking it since then.
