A Vegan or a ‘plant-based’ diet is one that consumes fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts but excludes any foods derived from animals including meat, eggs and dairy. Ensuring a good, varied intake of starchy carbohydrates, beans, pulses, seeds, nuts, fruit and veg will encourage a balanced intake of the key macronutrients.
However, there are numerous micronutrients which can only be derived from animal sources
or very limited within plant sources and so it is imperative that these are considered and potentially
supplemented with to prevent deficiencies.
There is a strong scientific rationale for the use of multivitamins as a safe and effective means of
ensuring daily nutritional adequacy and promoting optimal health.5
