Russian scientists announced the names of nutritional supplements necessary for vegans 02:20

Scientists from the Perm National Research Polytechnic University (PNRPU) told which biologically active additives (BAA) are useful for people adhering to vegetarian and vegan diets. socialbites.ca was informed about this by the press service of the scientific institution.

“Humans are omnivores and vegetarianism should not be seen as the only correct diet. Plants lack many amino acids, and without these amino acids the human body cannot function properly. For example, valine, leucine, isoleucine, threonine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, lysine. The production of these amino acids is quite expensive, so finding a nutritional supplement package containing all these ingredients is not an easy task,” said Ekaterina Bankovskaya, associate professor of the Department of Chemical Technologies of PNRPU.

According to experts at Perm Polytechnic University, plant foods contain almost no vitamin B12, which is necessary for the process of hematopoiesis and the formation of new DNA molecules. You must take supplements to complete the deficiency.

Additionally, avoiding animal products can lead to iron deficiency. Foods contain this element in two forms: heme and non-heme. Heme iron is found in meat, poultry and fish, while non-heme iron is found in plant foods. Heme iron is absorbed by the body at a rate of 17-22%, while non-heme iron is absorbed at only 1-7%.

Another element that the body cannot absorb well from non-animal foods is calcium. Oxalic and phytic acids found in plants prevent their accumulation in the body. Vegetarians may also experience a deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids. Researchers stated that its main sources are oily fish and seafood.

Scientists reminded that nutritional supplements can be used as additional support to the body in the treatment of some diseases, but they cannot replace medications. In addition, it is not recommended to use dietary supplements regularly for a long time without a doctor’s advice.
