Why it matters on a plant-based diet
Thiamine is usually adequate on a plant-based diet (whole grains, legumes, seeds), but it is depleted by alcohol and high refined-carb intake.
A single marker decides nothing
Deficiencies mask one another: high folate hides low B12, inflammation inflates ferritin, low zinc mimics iron deficiency. VEGALYSIS reads the whole picture and explains the links.
