Vegetarian Vitamins?
ByWhat are some of the key vitamins that I need to take being a vegetarian? ( I know I am supposed to take calcium suppliments because I am very petite but I heard that you should take them with something else) I have been getting sick a lot and I think my poor nutrician has something to do with it. Also, how do you get all your protein for the day. I eat soy maybe once a day and couldn’t really see myself eating much more than that.
GNC has a vitamin i take that is for Vegetarians.http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?pro…
It has vitamins A,b,c,d,and e.
Iron and Selenium.
just take a multi-vitamin and get protein from beans, soy, boca products…protein is in everything even fruits and veggies
There is nothing you get from meat that you NEED that you don’t get from a decent balanced vegetarian diet.
There is no need for supplements.
Check out the vegetarian societies foodfacts for more information:http://www.vegsoc.org/info/foodfacts.htm…
Thier protein page lists good sources of protein:http://www.vegsoc.org/info/protein.html
You need the same vitamins and nutrients as a meat eater. Anyone can suffer from difficiencies not just Vegetarians. The protein scare is the biggest misconception about vegetarian diets. There are quite a bit of misconceptions so here are some web sites I think will help. The first is a list of vegetables with protein and how much the second are calcium sources in raw veggies. The third is an article about B12. It is actually a microbe found in soil and is abundant in seaweed, tempeh, miso, and root veggies. The last one is a list of foods with iron and how much. http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/protein.htmhttp://health.rutgers.edu/factsheets/iro…http://www.carrotcafe.com/f/calevel.htmlhttp://www.pamrotella.com/health/b12.htm...
If you are simply looking for a vegetarian multi-vitamin try GNC’s brand. They have a very good vegetarian multi-vitamin.
