Vegan and vegetarian study

What is it?

Good nutrition plays a fundamental role in people’s health and quality of life. Veganism and vegetarianism is a nutritional option that is becoming increasingly common in Western countries.

Vegan and vegetarian diets are, in general, rich in nutrients that are beneficial to health such as dietary fiber, magnesium, potassium, vitamins C and E, folic acid, carotenoids, polyphenols and other phytochemicals.

Even so, people who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet usually consume fewer calories than a regular diet. As in any other nutritional option that excludes large food groups, following a vegan or vegetarian diet must be controlled and supervised by specialists in order to prevent the deficit of certain nutrients found in foods of animal origin.

For this reason it is important to carry out this study periodically (at least once a year) to check that the person is making a correct and sufficient supply of nutrients to the body.

What do we analyze?

The vegan and vegetarian profile analyzes all the parameters and nutrients that are compromised in these diets, to be able to carry out a good follow-up and prevent or correct any alteration, in order to achieve good health and quality of life.

The study analyzes the following parameters:

• Hemogram
• Glycosylated hemoglobin
• Iron
• Ferritin
• Transferrin
• Lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides)
• Urea
• Creatinine
• Total protein
• Glucose
• Sodium
• Potassium
• Calcium
• Selenium
• Zinc
• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin D 25 OH

Who is it indicated for?

• Vegans and vegetarians who want to check that their diet meets the needs of nutrients from animal origin or that can be altered by following these diets, and that are necessary for the proper functioning of the body.
• Vegans and vegetarians who want to keep track of their health and want to make sure that their diet meets the established nutritional requirements.
• People who want to evaluate their nutritional status before starting a vegan or vegetarian diet.

Results

Thanks to the vegan and vegetarian study, we analyze whether there are certain parameters or markers that are altered to determine whether the nutritional needs of each person are met, with the aim of adapting the diet and informing on the role they play in the health of each person.
