A member asked:
My12y old son eats very little veggies and too much chicken can i give him vitamins to make up 4 the lack of veggies and which vitamins does he need?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vit. C &flavonoids &: Chicken will provide many vitamins but does not have vitamin c or bioflavonoids. These can be obtained from fruit. Try to find at least some vegies like carrots & potatoes that he likes. A good multivitamin is reasonable to give but he also needs phytonutrients, so consider a green powder like orac energy greens or green vibrance or vitamineral greens that can be added to juice.
