Minisode: Are These Nutrients Missing on a Vegan Diet?

from Vegan Boss Radio · host Shawna Barker

There are a lot of myths about vegan diets being “nutritionally incomplete” — but how much truth is there behind those claims? In this solo episode, I take a deep dive into some of the nutrients that are more recently being used to criticize vegan diets, including lysine, leucine, taurine, carnitine, carnosine, creatine, and choline. This is a very technical episode with a lot of numbers — on purpose. I want to show you exactly how much of each nutrient we actually need each day, and then break down how simple it is to get those amounts from common plant based foods. If you’ve ever heard someone say, “But where do vegans get ___?” — this episode will give you the practical food examples and clarity you need. Whether you’re new to veganism, long-term plant based, or just curious about the science, this episode will help you feel confident in meeting your nutritional needs without animal products. ____________________________________________________________________ Need support with plant based nutrition?
