In terms of actual supplements, I take Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D.

However, I also maintain a conscious diet to ensure I get my other essentials, and the most important contributor to this is my morning smoothie, which consists of:

  • Bananas (Potassium, Magnesium, Vitamins B6, C)
  • Berries (Antioxidants, Vitamins C, K, Iron, Zinc)
  • Almonds (Choline, Protein, Antioxidants, Vitamins B2, B3, B7, E, Zinc)
  • Spirulina (Iron, Calcium, Vitamins A, B6, B9, K, Antioxidants and more)
  • Hemp powder (Omega-3, Omega-6, all nine essential amino acids)
  • Pea powder (Protein, essential amino acids)
  • Oat milk (Vitamins B1, B3, B5, B9, Calcium, Zinc, Iron, Copper)

Who needs vitamins when you can point your anus directly at the morning sun and absorb it's power directly into your colon.

B12 and vit D in the winter months

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

B12, since I'm vegan. Rather be safe than sorry; anyone who does not eat meat should take B12.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

B12 is supplemented in meat products anyways.

Everyone is better off skipping the medium and taking directly.

Never understood this since I eat so much nooch it makes my wee glow, always thought other vegans would be the same

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I couldn’t find fortified nooch so far :/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I try to incorporate it where I can! But the flavor gets me if I don't have it in a certain way. Too... fake cheesy? Like cheap nacho cheese is what it reminds me of.

Edit: to != too

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah if you think of it as cheese it’s not gonna get you far. I kinda treat it more like nutty dust. lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does the nutritional yeast you buy taste nutty? I wish mine did lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nahh really it tastes like nooch, but cheesy/nutty idk how else to describe it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah haha it’s always a surprise, still

I drink soylent about once a day and it's basically highly fortified soy milk powder so i think i'm good but i might get more b12 supplements soon since it's just a good thing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It's people!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i am thinking about increasing my soylent intake and not by a little i figure i actually get more/better nutrients out of 3 or 4 soylents than my previous diet, so i'm going to aim to get over half of my rda in soylent and then eat whatever the hell i want. but soylent is so fucking good yo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I like my soylent thicc. The taste is really good. My only issue with soylent is that on paper it looks extremely nutritious but i'm not entirely sure how well my body absorbs and uses these nutrients.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

B12, D and omega-3.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

D3, B12, folate and iron

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

B12 and Omega 3 from linseed

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Either B12 or multi depending on how I'm eating (how much produce I can afford), just one pill either way though. I don't really eat fortified products because I make my own milk and prefer unfortified nooch as when I use it I use a lot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

D3 in the winter. Omega3, i get my B12 from fortified nootch
