All my nutrient numbers improved when I became vegan because nearly every one in the US/UK is deficient in VitD, Omegas and B12.

Fortunately today’s vegan communities are much more aware of this so I started taking these supplements right up front and all my blood markers improved dramatically since when I consumed meat/dairy.

It’s annoying to hear some push back against this when it’s as simple as taking relatively safe supplements (just make sure you talk to a doctor, and not a social media influencer, about how much you should take, and if you get a chance to regularly check your bloodwork don’t miss out).

My cholesterol improved massively, but over time, a few, such as Omega 3 suffered. But those were ultimately my own fault, wasn't managing it properly. So, I'm absolutely not suggesting there's an issue with veganism, this isn't really why I fell out of it. So I do want to stress I wasn't suggesting people should steer clear of Veganism, just something to be mindful of. Oh, and my cholesterol immediately shot back up again when I stopped being a vegan. So, swings and roundabouts with every diet/lifestyle, I guess!

Why did you become a vegan if apparently even non-vegans are deficient in B12? Do you supplement B12? Since B12 is mainly found in meat, and B12 deficiency is irreversible.
