Iron is less available in plant-based diets, meaning iron-deficiency anaemia is especially common in menstruating vegan women, causing tiredness, shortness of breath, light-headedness or hair loss. There is a moderate amount of iron in fortified cereals, leafy greens, pumpkin, peas, beans, lentils, nuts and seeds. Making sure you also get enough vitamin C (e.g. from citrus fruits) improves the absorption of iron.
Therefore, at Vegan Collective we are making sure that we are supplying the right products to ensure a healthy vegan diet. We are selling Pulsin Chocolate Pea Protein Powder which is a great source protein, zinc and iron. You simply add it to milk or water for a great tasting protein drink or add it to your favourite smoothies, porridge, cereal or recipes for an extra protein boost.
Great blog, will definitely look at buying some Pulsin pea protein.
