Vitamin B12

It plays a key role in the functioning of the brain, nervous system and cardiovascular system. Supports the health of nerve cells, supports the formation of red blood cells, participates in the metabolism of proteins. Its deficiency can lead to anemia, damage to the nervous system, infertility, and bone and heart disease.

With age, the body's ability to absorb B12 significantly decreases, which is why it is recommended that people over 50 take vitamin B12 supplements, regardless of the type of diet.

Vitamin D

A fat-soluble vitamin that supports the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines. It is important for immune function, memory and muscle health.

It is formed in the skin under the influence of the sun's rays, and the effectiveness of this process depends on geographical factors and skin type. The elderly, people with dark skin, and those living in northern latitudes or areas with colder climates may not be able to produce enough vitamin D. Vitamin D can also be obtained through the diet, but its food sources are few in number.

Iron

It supports the production of DNA and red blood cells, the transfer of oxygen in the blood, energy metabolism.

It exists in two forms: heme and non-heme. Heme iron is found in animal products and non-heme iron in plants. The non-heme form is much more difficult for the body to absorb and iron deficiency is common in vegans and vegetarians.

Iron deficiency leads to anemia, fatigue, reduced immune function, susceptibility to infections.

Calcium

A mineral needed to maintain bones and teeth, muscle function, nerve signaling, normal blood clotting and heart health.

Taken in combination with vitamin D, it reduces the risk of osteoporosis in later years of life.

Its deficiency is common among vegans and can be overcome by eating more plant foods, sources of calcium such as broccoli, spinach, kale, etc. and intake of calcium supplements.

Pea protein

Pea protein has an excellent amino acid profile and is the best plant-based source of essential amino acids.
