Hydroponic Fortification and Dietary App Effect on Nutrients Level (Harvest)

Veganism and vegetarianism have clear benefits where they have a lower risk of many health issues. However, they also have a higher risk of nutrients and vitamin deficiency such as iron and vitamin B12. Iron can be found in plant-based food but in varying quantities, whereas vitamin B12 is mainly found in red meat, thus vegans and vegetarians can only take this vitamin in supplements such as tablets. In this study, the investigators are testing two interventions, the consumption of recipes with a certain iron amount to increase iron levels, and the consumption of vitamin B12 biofortified plants to increase serum B12 levels in vegan and vegetarian participants.
