YOUTUBE
Mic is a science writer currently getting his Master's in Public Health. He is a wealth of knowledge and his videos are thorough, factual, scientific, very well made and often funny at the same time. I often find myself "binge watching" Mic The Vegan.
This is my YouTube channel which is still in its infancy. I am planning to start uploading regularly and to also put up some of the talks I give now and again. I am hoping to provide valuable information and support to you.
SUPPLEMENTS
Vitamin B12 as METHYL-cobalamine not CYANO-combalamine which contains cyanide, I like the brand “Doctor’s Best” or tasty Vitamin B12 Sublingual Liquid Drops
Vitamin D3, I like brand “Doctor’s Best”
DHA & EPA (Omega-3 Algae Oil capsules), I like brand “Testa” (instead of fish or fish oil)
VEGAN OMEGA 3 sugar free gummies by BeLive
Women of childbearing age who do not eat plenty greens might consider: folate (not folic acid), I like "Doctor's Best"
Most people do not need this, however if you do need it I would recommend this protein supplement: Vega One All-In-One Plant Based Protein Powder
