Hi, folks. My sister is persistent in becoming a vegan. I know their diet is very limited, so I am little worried. For instance, is iodine supplementation necessary for vegans? I have heard somewhere this and I would like to know whether this is true or not. I hope someone will know to answer me.
Hello, there. Vegans do not have enough iodine in their diet. That is why they need to take iodine supplements. Kelp tablets are recommended. However, one should not exaggerate with this. Too much iodine can be dangerous as much as too low iodine. Your sister should consult a nutritionist before becoming a vegan. I hope everything will be all right. Good luck to your sister. Bye!
