      VITAMIN & MINERAL 
                       SITE


(Including various medical challenges that
 can 
be aided through vitamins, minerals, &
 great foods)



The following is information on vitamin & minerals that may be a benefit to the vegetarian/vegan.

Please check with your physician
, and/or nutritionist before taking any supplementations.
   



B-12 Is probably the most difficult vitamin for a vegetarian to obtain. There is virtually no B-12 in fruit, vegetables, or grain.
It is crucial for protecting the body from irreversible nerve damage, and pernicious anemia. Typical early signs of this disorder may be weakness, shortness of breath, occasional faintness, headaches
and inflamation of the mouth and tongue. Pernicious anemia could
result in enlargement of the spleen and high levels of unusable iron in the blood, as well as impaired mental ability in severe cases.
B-12 
also has been found to maintain normal bone marrow, as well as the myelin sheath that protects nerve structures, which if damaged, could cause loss of muscular coordination.

CALCIUM: Has been found to aid against osteoporosis, yet is often deficient in vegetarians who include dairy products from their diets. Vegans should eat plenty of dark green vegetables and tofu, which are excellent sources of calcium. Besides protecting teeth and bones, calcium is also necessary for blood clotting, maintenance of cell membranes and structural support  within cells.
