Calcium
Calcium For those living off of a truly plant-based diet (I'm talking to you, vegans), chances are, you're not getting enough calcium. Typically found in dairy products, this nutrient is essential for bone health. A calcium deficiency can lead to osteopenia, which can turn into osteoporosis, making your bones more susceptible to fractures and breaks. While certain vegetables do serve as a source of calcium — for example, Chinese cabbage, kale, and broccoli — you're probably not eating enough of those to meet you suggested daily intake. There are plenty of supplements out there that can assist you on getting your daily dose.
