An article in the Washington Express paper today explianed that sometimes food alone doesn’t fulfil your daily vitamin needs. When you need some nutritional extras, slip these in your diet. If you’re a vegan, the article suggests that you will need more vitamin A.  Eggs and milk are typical sources, to vegans are the rare people who might need more of this vitamin. The author suggests drinking a cup of carrot juice after dinner to boost the body’s absorption.

For vegetarians, the authors suggest boosting the B12.  Natural B12 comes from meat and fish, and vegetarians tend to not get enough. B12 is safe so there is no upper limit established. They suggest (500 mcg). They suggest to take this vitamin after dinner with water.
