I'm currently slowly reading a book on Raw Foods written back in the 80's and trying to digest every word of it, there is a note in it about the difference one scientist found between natural vitamins and synthesized vitamins being completely at different ends of the scale from one another.Oh. one more thing. Good nutrition does not require supplementation. The billion dollar supplement market would have us all believe differently.
I think there is paranoia on both sides of this one TBH. I'm happy to take an inexpensive brand of vegan multivitamins and an algae based omega 3 supplement to be on the safe side. We don't get a super-wide variation of fruit and veg and we can't afford to eat nuts every day so I think it's important. Each to their own though. We all have to gamble with the conflicting information we find.I'm currently slowly reading a book on Raw Foods written back in the 80's and trying to digest every word of it, there is a note in it about the difference one scientist found between natural vitamins and synthesized vitamins being completely at different ends of the scale from one another.
Here is an interesting article I've just found How to Tell If Vitamins Are Synthetic | Livestrong.com
I'm going to use up my stock of vitamin pills and get it all naturally as a result of what I am reading.

Interesting that you say "if she hasn't already." I already pointed her in that direction so she may have watched it by now. Good suggestion though!I would also suggest that she watches The Game Changers - as that will give her a good background thought process... if she hasn't already.

That is a very good and simple resource and you can ask questions if you want. Thank you for that.In addition to the above references, I recommend the following article below. It highlights some of the difficulties in obtaining the suitable protein for vegans to build muscle but also goes over key sources that provide those protein sources. I was not really focused on a few of them before, but it was enlightening. Hope this helps!
Building Muscle on a Vegan Diet - Weight & Muscle Science
True. but vastly over-blown.In my experience, one key aspect of a vegan muscle-building diet is ensuring an adequate intake of essential amino acids.
While it's true that some plant-based proteins may lack certain amino acids, such as lysine or methionine, it is entirely possible to meet these requirements through a well-planned diet.
In addition to the previously mentioned sources, there are several high-quality protein foods that can be incorporated into a vegan diet to support muscle building. Tempeh, edamame, spirulina, hemp seeds, chia seeds and pistachios provide essential amino acids and can contribute to overall protein intake.
