A member asked:

What are the important dietary supplements for vegetarians?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Vitamin B-12: Vegetarians can get all the nutrition they need except for vitamine b-12, which is only found in animal-based foods. Be sure to get some protein - nuts, seeds, eggs, cheese are good sources of protein.
