Answer 2

You really don't need supplements if you eat sufficient greens such as spinach, beets, broccoli,

carrots, and fruits.  Eating a proper diet balanced diet is the key to vegetarianism!  Don't forget about beans, grains, cereals, seeds, and sprouts!

I am a Vegetarian and I don't use supplements!

Answer 3

If you are eating properly than you should not need bottle upon bottle of supplements. Properly planed vegetarian diets contain all the vitamins and minerals a person needs. Be sure you are eating a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and grains(vary colors on veggies-reds, greens, yellows, etc).

Some people(vegetarians and omnivores) like to air on the side of caution and take a muti-vitamin, just as a safe guard. I would also suggest taking a vitamin D supplement, as studies have shown that about 40% of adult are lacking in vitamin D(most likely b/c of people not getting outdoors enough and the use of sunscreen, which inhibits vit. D production).

Other than that, it is a waste to be popping numerous pills. The body absorbs nutrients from food much better than in pill form, and real food is still the best source of nutrition.
