Ever since I was little, I’ve always taken vitamins. It started with an iron deficiency and using them to normalize my iron levels. After that, I took a one-a-day vitamin.

 

When I got more into health and fitness, my eating patterns changed and I was vegan for almost two years. With veganism, there are some important nutrients that you must take. A few of them were omega-3s, biotin, iron, and vitamin B12. These were some of the things my body was lacking when I cut out meat.

 

B12 was a big one for me because I could feel my body lacking it when I wouldn’t take the vitamin. My hands were often shaky and I felt lightheaded or dizzy. Everyone’s experience is different when they experience a deficiency, but this was mine, and I knew that I needed a vitamin.

 

I eventually went back to eating animal products because I felt like my body was craving eggs and poultry. I ate red meat before doing a vegan diet, but not that much. I mainly ate egg whites and chicken breast.

 

No matter what your diet is, vitamins are important and where they come from is important, too. Over-the-counter vitamins aren’t bad, but there are tons of organic brands out there on the market that are even better.

 

Nordic Naturals is a brand that has been around since the mid 1980s. The brand was started by Joar Opheim in Norway.

 

Some of the vitamins they offer include omega-3s, vitamin D3, CoQ10, vitamin C, melatonin, and more. There are also vitamins and gummies designed for children.

 

Flinstone vitamins were a hit for me back then, but with brands like Nordic Naturals, those might be a parent’s best interest for their child.
