Feedback:
A vegan diet should include Vitamin D. Vegans rely exclusively on plant sources for protein, which may be inadequate in providing Vitamin D. Vitamins A, B, and C are found in vegan diets to a certain extent. A vegan diet should be skillfully planned to provide complete protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamins B12 and D, and iron.
