Do vegans suffer from any nutritional deficiencies?
If vegans don’t follow a sensible diet, they could become deficient in vitamin B12 and iron. However, vitamin B12 can be obtained in a wide range of foods such as B12 fortified soy milk, cereals and veggie burgers. Good sources of iron include wholegrain cereals, leafy green vegetables, lentils, kidney beans and blackstrap molasses. See our vegan nutrition section for more information.
