Vegans who avoid all animal products must supplement their diets with a reliable source of vitamin B12, such as fortified soy milk. Although bacteria in some fermented foods and in the knobby growths of some seaweeds produce vitamin B12, most vegans do not eat enough seaweeds and fermented foods to meet their vitamin B12 needs. Vegans also need a dietary source of vitamin D when sun exposure is limited.
