I've been getting mine from Amazon. This one. It's the only one I've found without carrageenan which my bowels don't like. The amount of carrageenan in a capsule may be too little to matter.
I also take b12, D3 (fungus derived), a multivitamin, and a tiny dose of calcium carbonate (stirred into oats or whatever). The b12 is a 1000 mcg tablet take at four-day intervals, and the D3 is 5000 IUs taken at two-day intervals.
Happy you've decided to make the switch!

Many people who would otherwise be able to cannot stick with it because they try to do it overnight. Consider that it's better overall if you have 10% reduction (two meals a week vegan) for one year, much less several, than if you are completely vegan for a month.

Go at a pace that makes you comfortable. You can try to change one meal a week, and increase week to week. So the first week you have one vegan meal, the next you have two, and so on. If you're comfortable moving faster than that, then go for it. But the key is to maintain the gains.

Also be sure you're getting b12, iodine, omegas, and possibly d3 if you test for a deficiency and/or do not get much sun. I've linked to the best brands/foods I know for getting these nutrients. If you use iodized salt, that will have iodine; but I prefer getting it from whole food sources and so I put about 1-2 tbsp of the dulse flakes in a smoothie in the morning. For omegas, I use pumpkin, hemp, and ground flax seeds (freshly ground is best) as well as the supplement I've linked. Spirulina is also a great whole food mutli-vitamin and mineral that's also very high in protein (57% by weight; compare to lean meat which is 26%).
300mg DHA / 150mg EPA in this algae oil supplement. Works out to about $0.55 a day. :) This combined with a tablespoon of flaxseeds (for ALA) rounds out your omega 3 needs according to the amount recommended in this position paper from AND: https://jandonline.org/article/S2212-2672(13)01672-9/pdf
Ah interesting. I've been using some website that rates supplement quality and this was what I decided on for the past 2 years.
