I’m planning to try with vegetarian diet. I heard that it’s very healthy. But my friend told me that usually vegetarians don’t take enough vitamins because some vitamins you can find only in meat. I suppose they need to take supplement of certain vitamins. What vitamins should I use if I'm on vegetarian diet?

Yes. You have right, you are missing some important vitamins and minerals on a strictly vegetarian diet. You will need to supplement your diet with vitamin B-12, Vitamin D, calcium, and zinc. Vegetarians do not consume the richest sources of Vitamin B complex. Be careful because deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals can result in mental illness and retardation.
