What vitamins should a vegetarian take?

plastic[tastic] asked:
I’ve been a vegetarian for years now, and someone has brought it to my attention that I could probably fix a lot of my health problems by taking vitamins. What vitamins should I take? I really don’t eat much (I have a very small appetite) so I’m probably not even getting enough protein, even though I eat soy products. I also don’t eat all my fruits and veggies, or all my grain… What vitamins should I be taking to stay healthy?

you should just adjust your diet to make it more healthier and skip the vitamins. if you eat a well balanced diet you shouldn’t need vitamins even being vegetarian.

Take a good multivitamin and eat a wide variety of veggies and fruits. You will have to spend some time in the grocery store and in the kitchen to ensure that you and eat more natural whole grain foods and less processed foods. Be good to yourself.

Balance your diet with proteins, greens, fruits and grains.If you still want to use vitamins, multivitamins with iron is smart especially if you lack energy.

Drink soy protein shakes and supplement iron and B12. B12 is found only in animal products and you probably aren’t getting enough if you are veggie. Iron is found mostly in meat but also in green leafy veggies. If you aren’t sure whether you are getting enough iron you can get a blood test from your doctor. I supplement iron every other day just to be safe…. And soy protein shakes have lots of protein! I mix one with a bananana so they taste better.

I don’t take any, I just eat a balanced diet and would recommend anyone else to do the same!

I take multi-vitamin pill,
every night after dinner, take half pill only.
Also take bio-calcium morning half, night half.
You will not get overdose by taking multi vitamin pill,
but it guaranty you will not missing any important vitamin and mineral.

most vegetarians dont need to take suppelments but i personally do….i’ve taken centrum all my life( its a multi-vitamin) my doctor told me to take it even before i was a vegetarian so i recommend that. also i need to take a vitamin b12 suppelment because i started getting rle tired and had problems with my menstrual cycle so i toke that, u can find b12 in dairy products but i guess i wasent getting enough…if you are worried u should just ask your doctor im sure they can help…but also the vitamins i take u can find at cvs or drugstores nd u dont need a perscription their pretty cheapp..also btw im 15 nd been vegetarian for a year
