Wich vitamin supplements do yo take if any in the raw diet? I have eating healthy since my moms dead two years ago. I start reading some great books and detoxing my body an applying what I have learned in these books:the fat flush, you are what you eat, I did the master cleanse and now Im into raw. I do an intense workout on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and take Yoga Monday and Fridays. I’ve been eating raw since June 17 and I was wondering about the vitamins. My hemoglobin is always low, and Im feeling kind of week this week. Do I need any vitamin or supplement to complement and feel better. I mostly eat vegetables and fruits during the day. Im learning how a cook great raw food, thanks to this website.

Any tip is appreciated. Thansk

    Hi Stampy,

    Try adding more greens to your diet. Look for some green smoothies on here..they are delicious! I’ve been drinking a couple green smoothies for a few months now, and when I had my last blood test; it was perfect! I was always low on hemoglobin before that too. Also, maybe check out bee pollen. Its full of iron and even has B12. :)

    Hi stampyheart whenever i feel weak or low i take in as much water as possible- drink until you can’t drink anymore!!! you may be dehydrated, which 80% people already are they just don’t know it- whenever i think i’ve had enough water i drink more and i always feel better within an hour or two :)

    peace

    Thanks for reply. I will try more water and green smoothie I do a lot of juicing thought. About the bee pollen I stop taking those five month ago, I might have to go back. Thanks so much

    I am supplementing pretty heavily still because I am recovering from illness but in general I think it is important to supplement Vitamin D during the winter months depending on where you live. If you are in good health, the rest is up to you. You can always have your blood checked to see where you are on these levels.

    If you want iron you will not get it from spinach or chard. It is bound up along with the calcium by oxalic acid so you may want to consider other greens.

    Vitamins become unusable when they are heated, so when you eat raw you are getting all of your vitamins and you shouldn’t need to supplement. The only possible exceptiona are B12 which is a hotly debated topic in the raw community, and Vitamin D which you can get from the sun anyway.

    After you have been raw for a while, if you’re worried about any deficiencies you can go for tests at your doctors and see for sure if you’re lacking in anything.
