Do you take vitamins/supplements? ?

Question

What kind of vegetarian are you and do you take any vitamins/supplements? If so, what kind?

Answer 1

I'm a vegan and I've recently started taking calcium vitamins because I'm not sure what types of food has a wide source of it. I guess I should look it up XD

Answer 2

No I don't.  All the vitamins I need are in the food I eat

Answer 3

I'm vegan and I take a Jamieson B-Complex multivitamin, which includes B12, iron, and folic acid.

Any vegan should be certain they're getting plenty of B12; it can take years for problems to develop as the body has stores that eventually run out if you're not getting enough.

Answer 4

lacto-ovo vegetarian, and yes! I take Rainbow Light prenatal pills. I am pregnant and nursing so anything extra is a plus!!

Answer 15

I'm a vegan and I take vitamin B-12 supplements. I don't know what they do though, I just read somewhere I'm supposed to take them.

Answer 16

I'm a vegan and I take a multi-vitamin, 600mg of calcium, 1,000mcg of B-12, and vegan protein powder every day. I dated a girl who was a vegetarian and she refused to take supplements. She was always getting sick and frequently felt tired and weak. At the very least, take B-12 supplements to prevent anemia. No plant foods can provide a reliable source of B-12.
