Anya asked: I’m a vegetarian, although essentially vegan, because I’m extremely lactose intolerant. I’m also female; I know it’s even more important that I receive proper nutrition. I don’t get enough calcium, vitamin D, iron, b12, and probably protein in my diet. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good supplement? I tried researching one but they’re all like, from extremist, purist, organic vegans. I don’t really care how organic it is, I just need some basic vitamins. Thanks.

Obviously, I’m not going to eat meat or dairy. Please respect my dietary decisions.

Ernesto T asked: I want to take advantage of the fact that some vitamins and minerals are better absorbed when taken with certain other vitamins and minerals. I’m already aware of the following:
Vitamin E and Selenium
Vitamin C and bioflavenoids
Vitamin D and Calcium
Are these accurate? And are there any others that I should know about? I am particularly interested in Zinc and Vitamin A.

☆Lindsey & Jackson☆ asked: I breastfeed and I take a prenatal that has everything in it, including vitamin D. I also take an extra chewable calcium supplement. Is it necessary for me to give him extra vitamins?
I also take my son outside in the sun for a few minutes a few times a week to get the vitamin D from the sun.

booklvr asked:
My doctor says that nutritional supplements - Vitamin D, B, Omega 3, Kelp - are a rip off. He said that these are not necessary and people get the nutrients they need through their diet. he feels that these supplements are purely placebo and in some cases can actually cause liver damage.
On the other hand, lots of research that I’ve read online indicates that people need the supplements and that lack of them are what causes various other illness.
What do you know about taking supplements? Why is there such a contradiction in the information about them?
Just to clarify, I’m not trying to lose weight. I was just interested in being healthier and taking supplements for that. Thanks!

BellaJ_DDils asked:
Do vitamins start your metabolism? I take a B complex vitamin, flaxseed oil and high potency vitamin D. I am wondering because I have a hard time eating breakfast and was curious if the vitamins alone would kick start my metabolism in the morning? I CAN eat breakfast, but with kids, I usually forget. I also drink coffee an water in the morning. Any information you have on vitamins/ metabolism/ diet/ weightloss/ energy would be great! Thanks!
