+ & Nutritional yeast is often confused with brewer’s yeast, but the two are distinct. Brewer’s yeast is aptly named, as it was initially offered as a byproduct of the beer brewing industry. It is a key ingredient in vegan cheese sauces, it can also be used as a condiment. Nutritional yeast adds a lot of depth and flavor to a variety of dishes.

& Iron-rich plant foods are high in {*phytic acid*}, a compound that binds to iron and other minerals and that makes it difficult for our bodies to absorb. Avoiding foods that contain phytic acid isn't necessary, but it's important to eat them in a way that minimizes their effects on iron.
& Iron is plentiful in vegan diets, you can increase your absorption of this vitamin by adding vitamin C to your meals (can increase absorption by 4-6X), avoiding tea (chamomille or pepppermint) of coffee at meals, eating more legumes, eating fermented grains (like yeast-leavened bread), cooking foods in a cast iron skillet (as the iron leeches into the food), and by avoiding calcium with meals.

& This, with extra servings of beans, broccoli, kale, okra, sweet potatoes, figs, corn tortillas, navel oranges and blackstrap molasses.
& The amount of calcium in plant foods is somewhat dependent on the amount of calcium in the soil. The World Health Organization recommends 1,000mg of calcium per day, and 1,200mg if over 50, but what is most important is how much is truly absorbed. Most people absorb 25-30% of calcium. Absorption varies depending on food sources, so {*it's important to consume sources of well-absorbed calcium*}, like {*calcium-set tofu*}, {*kale*}, {*turnip greens*}, {*mustard greens*} and {*broccoli*}. Beans, nuts and seeds have moderate amounts of calcium and a slow absorption rate, soaking nuts and seeds aids in absorption. Fortified plant milk generally contains calcium with an absorption rate of 25%, similar to calcium-set tofu, although it is important to shake it before using it as the calcium tends to set at the bottom.
& {{Oxalate molecules|https://veganhealth.org/oxalate/}}, found in certain plant foods (such as spinach, beets, beet greens, sweet potatoes, peanuts, rhubarb, and swiss chard), can prevent the absorption of calcium. Oxalates plays a part in calcium-oxalate kidney stones. Consuming calcium and high-oxalate foods is fine and necessary for good health, but it's important to drink plenty of fluids. Doing this helps oxalate and calcium “bind” to one another in the stomach and intestines before reaching the kidneys, making it less likely for kidney stones to form. Boiling high-oxalate greens before consumption and discarding the cooking water also helps.

- Cyanocobalamin Supplements
& Eat two servings a day of fortified foods that contain at least 2-3.5 mcg of vitamin B12, these need to be consumed at least 4h apart for optimal absorption. Another way, is to take a daily supplement of {*cyanocobalamin B12*} that provides 25-100 mcg of vitamin B12, or a supplement that provides 1,000 mcg twice per week.
& Absorption of vitamin b-12 is tricky, because small amounts attach to receptors that become quickly saturated by just 1-2 mcg of B12 and will stay like this for several hours. This is what you get from a single meal of fortified foods. Ingesting a large dose of B12 from a supplement, you can absorb the excess that can't latch onto receptors, but that is a very small amount. It is easier to meet needs from many small servings of B12 to be eaten throughout the day, but if you rely on daily single-dose supplements you need to have a lot more since absorption rates are very low.
