Dearest Joelle! I have worried a little if I'm getting everything I need. I know I just need to research, but why do that when I've got you? I'm complete vegan, so do I need B12 supplements? Fish oils? Flaxseed oils? Vitamin D supplements? What do I need to focus on as far as supplements?
ReplyDeleteLOL! Jess, you're so funny. For your B12 I would suggest getting a good green drink and a high quality Multi-vitamin. Maybe I'll make a RDA nutrient spreadsheet or something but until then, I'll just make a post about it so I can color code. Let me know if you have questions. Ella's awake, I'll have to get back later on.
