Healthy foods &supps: Vegetables & fruits are relatively rich in vitamins compared to other foods. Dr. Fuhrman's Nutritarian Diet emphasizes foods rich in vitamins & phytonutrients. See http://tinyurl.com/ktampgg But even those eating a healthy diet are often deficient in vits & minerals so a quality multivitamin is advised- see http://www.multivitaminguide.org/ Everyone should take about 5000 iu of D if fall & winter.
