No, it is because the vegetarian diet has very little zinc in it.
Semantics.
One doesn't ned to take a multi though, they can take separate supllements,
Buying them separately can be more costly though.
Beware of kelp. Some of it contaminated with arsenic and mercury. Buy only a reliable brand that is well tested, and even then be cautious and don't overdo it. I prefer to take my iodine as potassium iodide tablets.
I'll keep that in mind. I use the GNC brand. Not sure if that's okay or not.
The main food sources of carnitine are beef and pork/bacon.Other food sources(besides tempeh which few people eat) contain very small amounts of carnitine.
I eat beef once in a while. I find that it doesn't digest well with me but it does make me feel better which could be a combination of factors (iron, zinc, b12, b6 etc.) All good things. Carnitine is also found in Pumpkin seeds, broccoli, and asparagus which I eat.
I'll have to check out Carnitine and Creatine.
