I don't take vitamins, but I do eat 2 servings of fortified breakfast cereal everyday!. With each serving I add one 8 oz!. serving of soy milk!. (That's just part of my day's food BTW) It's a great way to start your day especially with some fruit!. It also makes a good filling bedtime snack!.
That takes care of my calcium, vitamin D, iron, B6, B12, folic acid, and a bunch of other things I can't remember!. You can check though next time you are in the cereal isle!. You have ot be careful though because some cereal contains milk!.
I don't take any supplements at all and I am perfectly healthy!. Generally vegans don't need to take supplements!. A good, varied diet will allow you to be healthy without taking pills!.
Good luck and take care!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

To figure out how much protein you need, multiply your weight in pounds by 0!.36!. The result is a good estimate of mow many grams you need, but it has a margin of error built in (so you can get by with less!.) Unless you're pregnant, lactating or bodybuilding you don't need any more than that!.
I take Deva brand multi!. It's got some iron and some B12 and I don't take more of either!. It's not a great idea to take supplemental iron unless you have symptoms of iron deficiency or your doctor has diagnosed you as iron deficient; too much can be highly toxic!.
Your main focus should be on getting your nutrients from food!. "Becoming Vegan" by Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina is a great resource!. I take a multi because my diet is good, but it sure isn't perfect every day!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have my own views on it - but really think it best to go to someone that can test and see what it is that you actually need - or if you need to take any sort of suppliments!.
That means that you should make an appointment with a doctor and get tested!.
Spending un-needed monies on vitamins that you very well don't even need is more expensive in the long run that just going to the doctor and getting tested!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
