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?
