- protein from grains, legumes, nuts and veggies
- mushrooms are supposedly for vitamin b but is turns out that is only if you eat the manure they are grown in!
The only supplement you really need is B12 and also zinc if you can't be bothered eating enough nuts, legumes, grains and green leafy veggies.
