Hi alexandra,
The only supplements I take are MSM, and right now I'm taking chlorella. I don't know of any vitamin or mineral in dairy that you can't get from a plant source. Sometimes people forget about sprouts which are simply loaded with vitamins and minerals. I try to eat a lot of them. I also drink wheatgrass juice which has all of the known vitamins and most minerals.
I don't use any soy products or substitute meat products. They are usually highly processed, and I don't particularly like them.
Discovering the health benefits of a plant based diet has been a genuine adventure for me. A lot of practically miraculous changes have taken place, i.e., better health, appearance, mental and emotional health, energy...
I certainly didn't make the transition overnight though. There has been a lot to learn. A lot of adjusting and refining. A lot of slip ups. My diet still isn't perfect, but I'm aiming for progress, not perfection.
