What vitamins/supplements should a vegetarian take?

Vitamins and Supplements
Lion P asked:


I recently became vegetarian and I’m wondering if I should take any vitamins/supplements. Which ones should I take? I know a lot of people are going to say I don’t need them or that I can get the vitamins from eating other foods, but please can you tell me the vitamins anyway, so I have the option. thanks

    Iron. This is the one nutrient only found in meat, but don’t be discouraged, on avaerage, a vegetarian is healthier than a meat eater.

    Some vegetarians, especially females, take iron supplements.

    Unless a blood test has specifically shown that you have a nutrient deficiency, I wouldn’t recommend any supplements just because you’re vegetarian.
