I became a vegetarian last november (for those of you who know, I'm a pesca-ovo-lacto-vegetarian, I eat fish, eggs and milk) but lately I've been very tired. I eat tons of protein - cheese beans, tofu, and TVP (if you don't know what it is, don't worry about it, it's a BETTER source of protein that meat!) but I totally neglected to supplement my iron intake. (duh)
So, I went out to buy iron supplements and I found IRON AID!
Which contains:
150mg vitamin C (250% daily value)
Folic Acid 400 mcg (100% daily value)
Vitamin B12 100 mcg (1,667% daily value) !!!
Iron 25 mg (139% daily value)
Well I'm not on a 2000 calorie diet. My intake is more like 1,200 calories per day. I'm a smaller person (we've been over this with my doctor, I just can't eat that much! And I'm a healthy weight!)
What's this all gonna DO to me? Is ODing on these vitamins going to have annoying side effects?
Go ahead. be graphic. I can take it.
Just don't be rude about my choice to be vegetarian.
