Vegans/Vegetarians: Vitamins?

[Kat2002]

Any vegans or vegetarians out there, I was just wondering if you had a brand of vitamins/supplements that you recommend?

Thanks.

I'm not a vegetarian (I'm toying with the idea though) but you'll probably want to look for one that doesn't have gelatin in it (gelatin comes from animal bones.)

I just ordered a one a day vitamin from veganessential.com. They have a great selection of vegan vitamins and protein shakes(among other things). I believe you can also find vegan vitamins at Whole Foods or at any heath food store.

I like VegLife supplements (Vegan Joint Supreme, for example). I've also used other brands. I get mine at www.veganessentials.com as well (great place!). I also just saw them in a natural foods store.

You can also find vegan products, including supplements, at www.vegstore.com (Pangea). They have their own brand of supplements.

I also use a meal replacement/protein powder once in a while called Vegan Complete (from Vegan Essentials) that contains vitamins, minerals and probiotics.

I've been taking DEVA One a Day for quite a while. I believe it is a little low in calcium, so I take a veggie calcium chew as well. You can buy the DEVA vitamins here- very fast shipping: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/dn/multi.html

Most one-a-day vitamins are low in calcium, because calcium takes up a lot of space (to have anywhere near the daily requirement, the pill would be the size of a golf ball!)
