How is your diet? Do you supplement B-12 already? Do you eat a colorful array of fruits and vegetables?
Do you eat a lot of green leafy vegetables, broccoli, spinach, peas, oranges and fortified cereals? If you eat some of these foods daily, you are getting folic acid.Originally Posted by JD Spaghetti
I went into Vitamin Shoppe and the sales lady was trying to sell me Folic Acid because I'm a vegan. I went in there for B12, and she recommended a brand but I can't recall the name of it. Is it really necessary for a vegan to take Folic Acid? She said it will help my blood, I really don't know. Does anyone recommend any good multi/B12/calcium vitamins? I've been a vegan for four months now and I mainly rely on a multivitamin + meals + soymilk for my vitamins and nutrients. The sales woman was also trying to sell me protein powder [which I already have, and don't use because it's gross.] I'd rather eat beans everyday for protein, which I do. Then she also said I needed to get some other drink because I couldn't possibly get all my vitamins and minerals from a plant based diet alone. As far as I know that's incorrect, with the exception of B12. I didn't buy into anything she said, because I know it's her job to sell. Just incase though, I'd like some help from other vegans who have experience or have any good recommendations.
**She also asked me if I ate fish knowing that I am a vegan, and claimed that animals are here for us to eat....I think not.![]()
