Veganism is the personal practice of eliminating the use of non-human animal products. Ethical vegans reject the commodity status of animals and the use of animal products for any purpose, while dietary vegans or strict vegetarians eliminate them from their diet only. The term ‘vegan’ was coined in England in 1944 by Donald Watson, co-founder of the British Vegan Society, to describe a vegetarian who doesn’t consume dairy or eggs on ethical grounds. It extended its definition in 1951 to mean ‘the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals,’ and in 1960 H. Jay Dinshah started the American Vegan Society, linking the movement to the Jainist concept of ahimsa, the avoidance of violence against living things.

Vitamin B12 One 2000 mcg (or μg) tablet (ideally chewed or dissolved under your tongue) once a week; or
at least 10-100 mcg once a day; or servings of B12-fortified foods (containing at least 25% Daily Value on

such latitudes should include daily Vitamin D sources in their diet year-round. Sources include Vitamin Dfortified
foods, Vitamin D supplements, or eating about a dozen dried shitake mushrooms or a dozen fresh
Chanterelle mushrooms every day.
Calcium 1000 mg a day for ages 19-54 via cups of low-oxalate greens, fortified foods, and/or supplements.
Iodine If you dont drink milk or eat seaweed or use iodized salt, you may need to supplement your diet.
Iron Menstruating women should increase their intake by combining iron-rich and Vitamin C-rich foods at
meals and should get checked for iron-deficiency anemia every few years. Men should be checked for hemochromatosis
before increasing iron intake.
