Veg Rx by Physician Formulas

Veg Rx is made specifically for vegetarians and vegans or those who eat very little meat, fish and foul and thus may be missing, or getting very little, crucial nutrients for optimal health such as vitamin B12, iron, creatine, carnitine, and several other nutrients. As a Vegan or Vegetarian, are you getting all the nutrients for optimal health?

Veg Rx questions
Q. I have been a vegetarian for 16 years, and my son is also veg. (we are both ovo-lacto vegs) I am thinking of trying the Veg Rx. Is this something my 5 year old could also take, What would be a safe dose for a child? Thankyou for your very informative website. I look forward to trying some of your products.
    Q. We have not tested Veg Rx in children, but if his doctor approves he could try one capsule of Veg Rx a few days a week.

Q. I'm a (Health conscious) Vegan, and got interested in Veg Rx formula, but I have a few questions regarding it: As we know, Omega 3 from flax seeds and hemp does not contain long-chain n-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA. Our body can produce these (some say efficiently). As far as I know only a few percents of Omega 3 fatty acids will be converted. What happens to the rest of it? Why don't you use algae based DHA instead? (Will the EPA level rise concurrently?) According to the RDA the recommended dietary allowances for an adult male is 8mg/day, it is also a
known fact, that excess Iron can be harmful to your health. Why is there 12 mg in the Veg Rx formula? Regarding creatine, is it a real necessity for Vegans? Even if I don't train heavily at the gym? (I used to consume creatine years ago, while doing heavy lifting, before turning Vegan).
   A. Vegans or vegetarians can take additional DHA if they wish, from algae. It is not possible to include everything required by vegans or vegetarians within a few capsules of Veg Rx, and those who wish to ingest more DHA can do so by taking additional supplements. As to iron, the RDA is about 10 mg for men and 15 for women. Most people using Veg Rx will take 2 or 3 capsules a day. The option is from one to 4 capsules a day. Creatine may not be necessary as a supplement for vegans, but it does not hurt to take some as a supplements, and perhaps it does some good to ingest additional creatine since dietary intake is so low. It would reduce the need for the body from having to make it itself.
      Q. I already consume a lot of Omega 3 from a combination of flax and hemp oil, so I wouldn't need that in a supplement. The Iron supplement would probably be excessive as well (I eat a lot of beans, grain, legumes green vegies). I didn't think creatine should be a problem (since the body produces it by itself), unless I do heavy training..
Regarding Carnitine / taurine - I've heard our body can convert amino acids of one type to another when needed, unless you do heavy training it shouldn't be a problem. I've never heard of CoQ10 up till now - but from what
I read, our body produces that enzyme also. In short, I still think that if I have a healthy Vegan diet I can get it all (besides b12 - I do take that twice weekly - Vegeterian forumula). I'd welcome your comments..
         A. You may to consult with your health care provider to review your complete diet history and whether you may or not benefit taking Veg Rx. Each person is unique in their needs. Some vegetarians may benefit from taking Veg Rx, others may not need to.
