Do you take vitamins? If so, do you take a multi or several supplements?
i take a lot of vitamins. when i get up at 4am for work :P i take a Calcium Magnesium & Zinc and then before i walk out the door i take a really yummy orange chewable Vitamin C tablet. When i get home from work i take a multivitamin, and then later with dinner i take a Calcium with Vitamin D, a Magnesium, and a Super B-Complex
I take a multivite (Veglife Vegan One Daily), an iron supplement, and cal-mag-plus-D.
I take a multi and other supplements (vitamin and herbal), including MSM, cal-mg-zinc, folic acid, selenium, chromium picolinate, red yeast rice and st. john's wort.
I only take a vitamin C because it is sort of traditional. The first question that people ask when I tell them that I am vegan is how many supplements I take. I believe (and it has been proven) that the best way to get nutrients/absorb them is through the food itself. I can tell when my body is missing something, for example iron, and correct the imbalance in my diet.
