Vitamin supplements for pesce-vegetarian?!
I have recently become a vegetarian (and DO eat fish); I'm a bit concerned that my body isn't getting some essential vitamins!. Can anyone recommend one (or more) supplements I can take to ensure that I am getting all of the nutrients I need!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Buy your vitamins in a dark glass container or buy a dark glass container with a screw on lids and put them in it if they do not come in one!. That helps prevent oxidation and destruction to the vitamins!. also, keep the vitamins in the fridge!. That helps keep them fresh!.
For specific brands, i like the hair stimulator vitamins!. they are not a multi-vitamin persay as they are made to improve hair, skin, and nail health!. However, they do contain all of the same vitamins the multi-vitamins do!. They even have some essential amino acids which is important if you do not eat seafood all the time!. Plus, they are made from like natural sources!.

If you eat a well balanced diet you don't have to worry - eat at least 5 colors of fruits and veggies a day and you're probably fine!. Alongside protein, fiber, etc, of course!. If you're worried a multivitamin is fine!.
