Abstract Background Unfortified plant-based diets are devoid of vitamin B12, and supply low intakes iodine, zinc, selenium, calcium. To disentangle the complex interplay between nutritional adequacy nutrient from supplements foods in diets, data a Germany-based cross-sectional study examining status omnivores, lacto-ovo-vegetarians vegans was re-analyzed. Special emphasis put on potentially under-consumed nutrients including A choline. Methods novel tool focusing micronutrients employed to shed new light dietary exposure critical diets: The Total Nutrient Index (TNI). TNI extends existing measures diet quality by considering intake both supplements. covers calcium, magnesium, potassium, choline vitamins A, C, D, E. compared vegetarians vegans, with special focus its micronutrient component scores regard supplement contributions. Results Data 108 participants analyzed. vegan omnivorous resulted similar (73.70 ± 19.68 72.77 17.88), whereas scored lower (68.50 17.10). contribution higher omnivores (median contribution: 12.50 (16.80) 10.81 (18.23) score points, respectively) as (3.42 (12.50) points). High contributions were found for D (all groups), C (omnivores vegans) magnesium groups). Conclusions Supplementation has profound impact supplies individuals diet. This reiterates need quantitatively assess patterns. We posit that defining diet-specific is important precise evaluation quality, whether omnivore or spectrum diets.
