An individual following which of these eating plans is most likely to need to supplement his or her eating plan with vitamin B12?

Question

a
A gluten-free eating plan
b
A low-cholesterol eating plan
c
A vegetarian eating plan
d
A low-salt eating plan

Answer 1

c. A vegetarian eating plan

Vegetarian diets may lack adequate sources of vitamin B12, which is primarily found in animal products. Individuals following a vegetarian eating plan are therefore most likely to need to supplement their diet with vitamin B12 to meet their nutritional needs.
