Hello. My wife and I plus our 4 yr old son recently converted to vegan/plant based diet. Although I have some idea of dietary sources of Vit B12 and Vit D we were still planning to be on the safe side and supplement in case we don't get enough from diet alone. Can the group recommend what ammounts of each vitamin i should be looking for in the supplement? I read that 2.4 mcg for B12 and 2000 U for Vit D.
For our 4 yr old son 1.2 mcg per day.
Are these amounts correct?
What brands or types are you all taking if any?
Thanks in advance
 
@ktxllc If USA, I would talk to a registered, especially for the 4 year old. Doctors don't get much nutrition education and IME often give bad nutrition advice to vegan patients.
