Simón,

I’m not quite following your regimen, but I’m afraid I don’t have time to provide individuals with consultations regarding their supplement regimen. However, I do have a handy list of nutrients and amounts that vegans need to cover in food and supplements in Nutrition Tips for Vegans. For the supplement portion, there’s a small chart. In the United States and Canada, you don’t need to worry about selenium.

I hope that will provide you with the information you need.

I wanted to reduce my stack and was considering the more “robust” multivitamin to pair it with the omega 3.

Martin,
We have a multivitamin listed fohttps://veganhealth.org/wp-admin/comment.php?action=approvecomment&c=5500&_wpnonce=7d80271546r Argentina towards the bottom of the Spanish version of Nutrition Tips for Vegans.

Thank you very much Jack. It just drew my attention that many nutrients included in the multivitamin are easily found in plant foods. Kind regards.

Martin,

Have you read our article, Tips for New Vegans? That summarizes what vegans generally need to know about nutrition. Not everyone needs a multivitamin—if you obtain all the nutrients talked about on that page in a different way, then you wouldn’t need one. But, a multivitamin is an easy way to cover a number of nutrient needs.

acacia,
In the time since writing the book, Stephen Walsh and I decided to revisit the literature and absorption formulas and concluded that 5 µg was enough to meet the RDA, so I lowered my recommendations. Yes, the regimen you’re on meets our recommendations.

Pamela,
Your impression is correct but you don’t need to be nervous about the small amounts of iron in a multivitamin.
