Living a vegan lifestyle means eating a conscious and balanced diet. Our vegan essentials provide targeted sources of essential micronutrients, omega-3 from algae, amino acids, and vitamin B12 in certified quality, ensuring a reliable and practical supply for your vegan lifestyle.
For many people, living a vegan lifestyle means eating mindfully—in an ethical, sustainable, and practical way. At the same time, it’s important to keep an eye on your nutrient intake, as certain vitamins, fatty acids, and minerals may not be adequately covered in a strictly plant-based diet. A structured routine consisting of selected foods, fortified products, and, if necessary, vegan dietary supplements can help optimize daily intake.
In a vegan lifestyle, the focus is often on certain nutrients, as their intake depends heavily on food choices and individual habits. These include, in particular, vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, iron, and a balanced intake of protein and amino acids.
A vegan diet tailored to individual needs is not the same for everyone; rather, it depends on factors such as lifestyle, activity level, age, and personal goals. While some people can meet all their nutritional needs through food alone, others rely on fortified foods or supplements to fill in the gaps. The key is to continually adapt the diet to personal needs and life stages.
Since a purely plant-based diet typically does not reliably provide sufficient amounts of vitamin B12, many vegans take it in the form of dietary supplements. That is why B12 is a regular part of many people’s routine. It contributes to normal energy metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. In addition, it supports the normal functioning of the nervous and immune systems.
Our vitamin B12 spray contains a high dose of methylcobalamin—280 µg per daily dose—and is based on a patented microencapsulation technology (TINYsphere®). The convenient spray format allows for precise application in daily life.
Omega-3 fatty acids are among the nutrients that vegans need to pay special attention to. While ALA often comes from plant sources such as flax or chia seeds, DHA and EPA typically come from marine sources—in vegan form, usually from algae oil. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision. EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function.
Our vegan omega-3 is made from high-quality algae oil sourced from sustainable cultivation; it is gently processed and is characterized by its exceptionally high purity and balanced DHA and EPA content.
As a vegan, its important to ensure a balanced intake of nutrients. These include, in particular, vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, calcium, and vitamin D. Taking targeted supplements of these nutrients can help meet your needs.
Vitamin B12 is found in plant-based foods only in very small amounts, if at all. Since B12 is essential for the formation of red blood cells and the normal functioning of the nervous system, targeted supplementation is recommended for vegans to prevent deficiencies.
The primary source of omega-3 fatty acids in a plant-based diet is algae oil, which serves as a vegan alternative to fish oil. Other plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids include flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and hemp oil. Omega-3 fatty acids play a role in supporting brain and heart health.
Yes, iron needs can also be met through a plant-based diet. Good plant-based sources of iron include lentils, tofu, spinach, pumpkin seeds, and whole-grain products. Its important to combine iron with vitamin C, as this improves the absorption of plant-based iron.
Zinc is essential for cell division and the immune system. Since plant-based sources of zinc are less easily absorbed than animal-based ones, vegans should take special care to ensure they get enough. Good plant-based sources of zinc include pumpkin seeds, oatmeal, lentils, and chickpeas.
Vegans can easily meet their protein needs through plant-based sources. Good plant-based sources of protein include legumes (such as lentils, beans, and chickpeas), tofu, tempeh, quinoa, and nuts. These foods provide not only protein but also important micronutrients for a balanced diet.
Calcium is important for strong bones and teeth. Plant-based sources of calcium include green leafy vegetables such as kale and broccoli, tofu, fortified plant-based milks (e.g., almond milk, soy milk), and sesame seeds. To ensure adequate calcium intake, targeted supplementation may also be considered.
