heres what u can expect

B12

Vegetarians who do not eat meats, fish, eggs, milk or milk products, or B12 fortified foods consume no vitamin B12 and are at high risk of developing a deficiency of vitamin B12 (9, 25). When adults adopt a vegetarian diet, deficiency symptoms can be slow to appear because it usually takes years to deplete normal body stores of B12. However, severe symptoms of B12 deficiency, most often featuring poor neurological development, can show up quickly in children and breast-fed infants of women who follow a strict vegetarian diet (26).

Fortified cereals are one of the few plant food sources of vitamin B12, and are an important dietary source of B12 for vegetarians who consume no eggs, milk or milk products. Vegetarian adults who do not consume plant foods fortified with vitamin B12 need to consider taking a B12-containing supplement. Vegetarian mothers should consult with a pediatrician regarding appropriate vitamin B12 supplementation for their infants and children.

Permanent nerve damage can occur if vitamin B12 deficiency is not treated.

I think that You guys don't need vitamin pills if u r like under 30 or something.. Go for the old fashion way.. Eat SAAG lots of em.... and all those green green sabjeeyaa/salads and so called *yucky* stuff for teens..

Though that site where the article is from seems to be govt site. so i guess it's ok to trust em.. but most of time articles like this are funded by BIG big Fat $$ companies who wanted to crush down the vegetarian community..
