vitimins

Hi,

I am very new to the raw food living and was wondering if any of you take a daily multi vitimin? If so which ones are best? I was looking at the Megafoods and Complete life brands since they are 100% whole food based. I just don't know if they are raw. Thanks!

best way to find out is to email the companies directly and ask them (you may have to define raw for them... however you define it).

i don't take a general supplement. at first i did, out of habit. then i felt like dropping it, so i did. but i do take herbs "prescribed" by my ayurvedic practitioner to address specific imbalances, so you might consider that the same thing. the body is alway seeking to balance itself, and i guess i view supplements as kind of scattershots that might actually create imbalances in the body, whereas something that is targeting known imbalances seems to feel and work better for me.

I take a sublingual B-12, microalgea DHA, and 1/3 of a "serving" of a multi-vitamin. I don't feel I need the multi, but I take it, anyway.

I haven't checked on the rawness of these; it doesn't really matter to me as long as I'm 75% or more raw.

I order my stuff from vegan online shops.

I use liquid SEA ALOE. It is whole food derived. My husband and I have used it for 5 years now, and swear by it. I t must be high in antioxidants- we are much more healthy, even though he still is a meat eater/cooked food person despite my "influences". If you want more info e-mail me-- jshaage@comcast.net. Best wishes, Janice .

I took vitamins and minerals when I was first going raw, but I have not felt the need for them during the last 6 years.

I'm with Bryan. I took a vegan chewable one-a-day while transitioning....but later they just made me ill. No supplments for the past 7 years or so. Just my experiences.
