I also never take suppliments. If you eat well, you don't have to..
Crikey, another brainwashed vego!! Why don't you just live on raw fruit a fresh air?!!
Are you getting any b12 or iron? I hope some of that factory food you eat, bulked up with sawdust and cardboard, is fortified. The frightening thing about b12 deficiencies is that it can take up to 20 years for neural damage to occur; damage which is irreparable. Therefore, b12 is the one vitamin that can't be messed with. There's enough in small amaounts of cows milk.
Like I said earlier,
the following info is from VEGAN/VEG WEBSITES, so it's obviously not anti-vegan or anti-veg:
"There are no reliable, unfortified plant sources of vitamin B12, therefore fortified foods and/or supplements are necessary for the optimal health of vegans and even vegetarians in many cases"
http://www.veganhealth.org/sh#vitaminb12
"The only reliable vegan sources of B12 are foods fortified with B12, and B12 supplements."
http://www.vegansociety.com/html/food/nutrition/b12/
"Plant foods do not contain vitamin B12 except when they are contaminated by microorganisms"
http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/b12.htm
"The only reliable unfortified sources of vitamin B12 are meat, dairy products and eggs. There has been considerable research into possible plant food sources of B12. However, analysis of fermented soya products, etc...................found no significant B12."
