As a Vegan or Vegetarian, are you getting all the nutrients for optimal health?
According to respected and world renowned nutrition expert Ray Sahelian, M.D., some vegetarians may not be getting the appropriate amount of certain nutrients. This is what Dr. Sahelian says on his website, "If you have a vegetarian diet or lifestyle, you are probably getting lots of important carotenoids, flavonoids, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial nutrients. However, as a vegetarian or vegan, it is possible that even with a good diet, you may still be missing some key nutrients. Nutrients that are found in very small amounts in a plant based diet and could possibly be beneficial as supplements for vegetarians, particularly vegans, include:

(Note: some of these supplements may be in a gelatin capsule. With time we plan to have them in a veggie capsule format).

Vitamin-B12
Carnitine 500
CoQ10-50mg
Creatine
EPA and DHA are highly unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids that are mostly found in Fish-Oils. Alternatively, Flaxseed-Oil could be a partial substitute. DHA is available from algae.

Even if you these a few times a week, you may notice some benefits with energy and mood enhancement.

Questions about vegetarian supplements and gelatin
Q. I was reading on one of the web pages where it said vegetarians can open a gelatin capsule and empty the contents into water. Vegetarians do not purchase products made with the parts of dead animals. So, a vegetarian would not purchase a gelatin capsule product and if they did, they would never take it out of the capsule where the product has touched the gelatin and put it in water.
   A. Not all vegetarians are the same. Some are quite strict while others are vegetarian only for health reasons and don't mind ingesting an occasional capsule from gelatin or opening a gelatin capsule and only using the contents. It would be simplistic to put all vegetarians in one category and to speak for all them as if they all had exactly the same viewpoint on this topic.
