What if you could feel completely confident that you're getting everything you need to thrive?
It's an experience plant-based eaters know all too well:
A colleague or friend, after seeing your lunch, begins to pepper you with questions about protein, iron, evolution, or the latest diet trend.
Then they'll share a scary quote from an Instagram doctor or an article that features new research on deficiencies in a plant-based diet.
No matter how good you feel about your choices, it's only natural for those questions to creep into the back of your mind…
Sowing tiny seeds of doubt that you may not be making the right choice for your long-term health.
Instead of trying to ignore the nagging concerns in the back of your mind…
-
It feels like I’m always tired recently, even when I’m sleeping well… could it be that I’m deficient in B12?
-
It seems like I’ve been sick a lot this past year… is my diet trashing my immune system?
-
What if that article is right… and 10 years from now I discover my plant-based diet really has led to deficiencies?
-
I’m so cloudy-headed right now. Is it a lack of sleep or a lack of nutrients?
Instead of trying to ignore the nagging concerns in the back of your mind…
What if you could feel completely confident that you're getting everything you need to thrive?

Do Plant-Based Eaters Need A Multi (When Their Food is Already Healthy)?
As a plant-based eater, you’re already following the healthiest and most responsible diet on earth, enjoying an abundance of most nutrients with every meal and supporting foundational long-term health. But, if you rely on whole foods alone, chances are you’re still missing a few key nutrients — and there’s (almost) nothing you can do about it.
A lack of complete nutrition can, at best, make you function at less than your peak. At worst, it can lead to serious health problems down the line.
But don’t take our word for it…
Look at the Statistics
- Up to 86.5% of adult and elderly vegetarians are at risk for Vitamin B12 deficiency. That affects their energy and brain function.
- More than 41% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D, which is crucial for bone and immune health, as well as many other systems. Several health experts believe that D should also be taken in combination with Vitamin K2, to ensure the safe transport of calcium in the bloodstream*.
- Despite having access to iodized salt, mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency is a public health concern in 30+ countries. Iodine is key for the metabolism.
- Due to plant compounds that reduce absorption, vegetarians may need 50% more zinc than omnivores. Low zinc levels can impair immune system function.
- Most vegans get their omega-3s from nuts, seeds, and oils. These contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which converts to DHA and EPA in the body, but at a very poor rate. Research shows that only 8% of dietary ALA is made into EPA in healthy young men, and 4% or less converts to DHA.
So what’s going on here? Why can’t plant-based eating alone cover all bases?
Here are 3 good reasons:
Your food is weaker than it used to be.
A United Nations’ study reports that 33% of the world’s soil resources are degraded — largely due to industrial agriculture. Poor soil quality negatively impacts the nutrition in our food, as well as its production and sustainability.
You eat the same stuff.
Think about how many of the same foods and meals you eat week after week. A review in Molecular Metabolism revealed that 75% of the world’s food comes from only 12 plants and five animal species. That’s not enough variety to ensure optimal nutrition.
Your body can’t absorb some nutrients, and can’t access others.
Plant-based sources of vitamin B12 and Vitamin D aren’t as bioavailable as their animal counterparts, and omega-3 fatty acids like DHA and EPA are nearly impossible to obtain in adequate amounts from a standard plant-based diet.
So what’s the solution?
In some cases, eating more of specific foods rich in the hard-to-get nutrients might help, since that would add more of those nutrients into your diet. But that's not always practical (you'd have to be munching seaweed all day every day to get enough DHA and EPA omega-3s, for example — and then you'd overdose on sodium and iodine).
You could also add individual supplements to your diet to fill in the gaps, but then you’d have to micromanage each one to make sure you’re getting enough, and in the right amounts. Plus, the cost of those individual bottles would add up quickly.
So how about taking a typical multivitamin?
Well, now you’re overcorrecting the problem, paying for a bunch of nutrients you’re already getting from your plant-based diet. You’ll end up peeing out the excess. Talk about money down the drain… And you’re still not getting those omega-3s.

Ingredients highlights.
-
Vitamin K2
50 mcg
K2 isn't available in plant-based foods except for natto, a Japanese fermented soy product (and it's not in tempeh), so those eating Western diets need to supplement in order to get it.
Benefits:
Helps with heart and bone health.*
The smart part:
Vitamin K2 is the natural partner to Vitamin D3, acting as a regulator for increased calcium uptake and promoting good bone health. Complement Essential™ includes 50mcg of Vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (the natural and most absorbable form of K2) per daily serving, sourced from bacteria.
-
Vitamin D3
50 mcg
We love nature and spending time outdoors. But we also wear clothing, and most of us work inside during daylight hours. That means our natural ability to soak up the sun's rays is limited, and as a result, many of us — regardless of dietary pattern — might be deficient in Vitamin D
Benefits:
Supports bone health and immunity.*
The smart part:
While many vegan multivitamins contain the less effective D2 form, Complement Essential™ provides 2,000 IU of the only truly vegan D3 available (Vitashine, sourced from lichen) per daily serving.
-
DHA/EPA OMEGA-3S
450 mg
Vegan food sources of Omega-3s like flax and chia seeds don’t provide two essential types — namely DHA and EPA. Seeds provide ALA Omega-3s, and are an amazing addition to your plate, but most people do not convert ALA into DHA and EPA.
Benefits:
Supports brain and cholesterol health, nervous system regulation, and improved energy levels.*
The smart part:
Complement Essential includes 300mg of DHA and 150mg of EPA per daily serving, sustainably sourced from algae grown under controlled conditions and tested for purity.
-
iodine
450 mg
Worldwide, iodine deficiency affects two billion people and is the leading preventable cause of intellectual and developmental disabilities. In plant foods, iodine is found inconsistently and depends on the iodine content of the soil. It’s possible to get enough iodine if you regularly eat seaweed (multiple times a week), or use iodized salt, but this is one essential nutrient that shouldn’t be overlooked whether you’re vegan or not.
Benefits:
Supports healthy thyroid function, which regulates the metabolism.*
The smart part:
Complement Essential includes 150mcg of iodine per daily serving, sustainably sourced from kelp.
-
Magnesium
200 mg
Soil depletion is a major cause of Magnesium deficiency in the overall population, and affects vegans as well as non-vegans.
Benefits:
Supports your metabolism, energy levels, mood, and heart health.*
The smart part:
Magnesium works to increase the efficiency of Iodine and helps regulate the thyroid function. Complement Essential includes 200mg of Magnesium per daily serving, in the form of magnesium citrate, the form that’s easiest absorbed by the body.
-
Selenium
50 mcg
Our depleted soil may mean that plant foods, in general, do not contain enough Selenium (and that’s even true for some Brazil nuts).
Benefits:
Supports brain health, mood changes, and heart health.*
The smart part:
Similar to Magnesium, Selenium works in tandem with Iodine to promote healthy thyroid function and metabolism, as well as the removal of heavy metals from the body. Complement Essential includes 50mcg of Selenium per daily serving, in the naturally occuring, plant-sourced form of L-selenomethionine.
-
Zinc
8 mg
Legumes and seeds are the best natural sources on a plant-based diets, but vegans who avoid those food groups, as well as those who are worried about its bioavailability can benefit from the addition of Zinc with Complement Essential.
Benefits:
Supports the skin and nails, healthy growth and eyesight, wound healing, and a well-functioning immune system.*
The smart part:
Complement Essential includes 8mg of Zinc per daily serving, a zinc picolinate, the form easiest for the body to absorb and utilize.
-
Vitamin B12
300 mcg
Soil bacteria produce Vitamin B12 — which is essential for humans in order to protect neutral health and reduce inflammation. But modern agriculture and other human behaviors decimate these bacterial colonies that produce B12.
Benefits:
Supports red blood cell formation, neurological function, & DNA synthesis.*
The smart part:
Complement Essential contains 300mcg of B12 per daily serving, combining methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, the easiest forms for the body to absorb and use.

WHY DARK ALGAE OIL IS THE BEST SOURCE OF OMEGA-3S
Omega-3 fatty acids — including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) — are critical for the proper structure and function of cell membranes. They help keep your brain, heart, and immune system healthy*. Most people don’t get enough omega-3s, especially plant-based eaters, and they mistakenly believe that fish and fish oil are the only sources.
Good thing that’s not true, because there aren’t enough fish in the ocean to provide the world’s population with the DHA and EPA it needs.
Health organizations recommend getting 250–2,000mg of DHA and EPA, combined, daily for optimal health, but scientists have calculated that, based on an intake of just 500mg daily, it would take...
1.2 million more tons of DHA and EPA than what is currently available to serve the world’s population — and fish only supply 15% of the global demand.
