Do any of you take any supplements? Do you think they're necessary on a vegan diet? What kind? Maybe B12, omegas? Other vitamins and minerals?

whether you are a vegan or a meat eater you can still be deficient in vitamins and minerals.. it starts with gut health
ironically there are way more meat eaters who lack B12 and eating more meat actually makes the problem worse cause they fuck up their gut health more and more.
I've never once seen a doctor recommend B12 for a meat eater.
B12 is however always recommended for vegans.

B12 for vegans is a necessity as it's the one vit they can't get from a proper vegan diet
FALSE
people with crohns disease are given B12 injections, and they eat plenty of meat. in fact it is one of the factors that led them to having crohns explode in the first place
see these are the false information that people think that I post about on these forums. even though 99% of people think I am wrong. why don't you google "B12 crohns disease" and read up on it before telling me i am wrong. the bodybuilder diet destroys the stomach over the years, and many older bodybuilder/meatheads who do the 8 meal a day BS 100% will have deficiencies as they age.
having a healthy gut is the #1 solution to vitamin deficiencies. also I will re-iterate again, just because a food has high amounts of a vitamin or mineral, doesn't mean eating it will boost that in your body. that is the MYTH that people can't seem to shake off. example: eating something with a lot of cholesterol (eggs) will give you high cholesterol or my favorite that eating foods high in fat (coconut oil, raw nuts, avocado, etc) will make you fat. both are completely WRONG. which goes back to the original point. eating a high meat diet will NOT solve a B12 deficiency, in fact over time it will make it WORSE.
it's just the way you are saying it...
Having a separate issue like crohns is completely different. Having a balanced healthy diet is of course the best solution for everyone. The point is that Vegans tend to have a harder time with B12 than meat eaters, on average.
Veganism is somewhat new and it's a western first world phenomenon which we are only beginning to study the outcome of the diet now on a larger scale.

here is an experiment you guys can all try since you all think Steve is an idiot
go get blood work done to test your B12.
then go to your local butcher and buy a whole cow
eat that cow for the next week, and also take a shit ton of b12 supplements from the drug store
then test your bloods again a week later
i guarantee that your b12 will be about the same exact number.
now do the above experiment for 1 year straight.. eat tons of red meat everyday, take tons of b12 supplements
i guarantee that your b12 will actually DROP and so will a lot of your other vitamins/minerals in your body cause your digestion will become so fucked up
amazing concept huh? but that is the truth.
you can do the same experiment with vitamin C. drink gallons of OJ a day for the next week.. then test your vitamin C.. i bet it stays the same as well. calcium? drink 5 gallons of milk a day for a week. same results.
the food and supplement companies have done a great job of brainwashing over the past 30 years. you have an entire aisle of vitamins and minerals at CVS, none of them are worth a damn. IT ALL STARTS AND ENDS IN THE GUT. if you do not fix your gut health, you will get worse and worse over time!! you can take the entire aisle of vitamins daily and it won't make a lick of difference
