A member asked:

I have horrible diet. sometimes i don't even eat at all bc of work. what are the most important vitamins too supplemt with? amino acids?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't do it!: Vitamins are no substitute for food. A little planning will fix you up. Take a prepared meal to work with you. Buy some healthy supplemental foods like fruit, nuts, and yogurt. There are many good frozen foods that you can microwave in a flash.
