Most people don’t need to soup up their diet with extra vitamins and antioxidant supplements. If you eat a well-balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, veggies, and lean protein, you should be getting the nutrients you need.
Caveats to that are iron, vit. D and calcium, which many people don’t get enough of! Iron and folic acid supplements are recommended for women of childbearing age, endurance athletes and vegetarians. Fatigue is a symptom of low iron (anemia).
Research has yet to show any benefits to high doses of antioxidants. A Cochrane Review that analyzed 67 studies on antioxidant supplements found they do not lower people’s risk of death or prevent disease. Supplement your diet with extra veggies instead : )
