Animal Friendly Muliti Vitamin Suggestions?
I have been a vegatarian for more than 3 months now and are working on becoming vegan, but I want to start taking a daily multi vitamin but need the name of a brand of one that is animal friendly that gets all its nutrients from plant sources. I have talked to local drug stores and health food stores and neither place had a brand that they could give me but said if I came up with a brand name that they would try to order it in, so for the people out there who take a multi-vitamin what is the name of the brand that you take?

I use the "Ultra Mega dietary supplement" from GNC which is made for veg folk.
I take Pioneer brand Vegetarian Multi-VCitamin & Mineral Complex, Vitamin C and Calcium (with Vitamin D2 & Magnesium). Make sure it's the vegetarian one because they make a non-veg one too. It will say VEGETARIAN in big letters on the front of the bottle. They are actually vegan and were recommended to me by the folks at 2 different health food stores. I also take Veg Life B12 losenges. On occasion I will take Jarrows pro-biotics vegan enteric coated caprules. Look for the vegan ones in the yellow box.
New Chapter is one of the best quality brands there is.
They have female and male specific vitamins (as well as everyone multi-s). The ingredients are vegan, organic, food-based, and also contain probiotics which are excellent for digestion (we're supposed to have 3-4 POUNDS of healthy bacteria in our guts--most people have less than 1).
They're pretty pricey, but I personally think it's worth it.
Otherwise, Super Nutrition is a good brand, so is Alive multi's by Nature's Way. All vegan multi's.

Whole Foods has a vitamin called "Daily Total 1" that I (a vegan) take. It has b12 and lots of other vitamins of special concearn to strict vegetarians.
