I've been feeling kind of weak lately and I'm wondering if it's because I'm vegetarian. Is it okay if I start taking vitamin B tablets? Do they actually help?

As a vegetarian, taking Vitamin B supplements can be beneficial, especially Vitamin B12, which is found primarily in animal products; Vitamin B complex tablets can help alleviate weakness, fatigue, and neurological symptoms

Question

Why am I always tired and have no energy?

I'm experiencing shivering at night, and it usually stops after a little while. This has been happening for the past 34 days, and my temperature seems a bit higher than normal when the shivering occurs. Could you suggest what might be going on or what I should do about it?

Question

I'm a vegetarian and I don't live at home, so it's tough for me to get a proper diet. Because of this, I'm worried I'm not getting enough vitamins. I started taking Zincovit. A family doctor once suggested I take a B-complex vitamin since I use antacid pills regularly. Is it safe to take B-complex vitamins alongside my antacid, and if so, could you recommend a good brand of B-complex that I should be looking into?
