I don't eat fruits often do i need supplement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fruits.: Well, the better recommendation would be to start eating fruits and vegetables. 5 servings of vegetables and 4 of fruit per day. Supplements can be used but they don't have the enzymes that you can get from fresh fruits and vegetables.
