Im 14/f and Im really interested in becomimg a vegetarian/vegan. I was wondering do you have ot take any extra vitamins or anything? I already take One Source for Women but would I need any thing else to get all the nutrition I need? thanks in advance!!

You're ok with the vitamin you're taking assuming that you're eating adequately already. Getting enough protein in as a vegetarian is tough but I personally think that as long as you get enough plant protein and dairy into your diet that you will be fine with protein as many people; bodybuilders in particular really overestimate the amount they need.

I am not sure if One Source has the extra iron in it but if it does not; you may want to look into finding a multi that does.
