With the vitamins and minerals, I would reach out to a health practitioners first so that you are not creating an inbalance by taking isolated compounds. It is always a good idea to bring in these nutrients via wholefoods.

Make sure you are eating meals that are full of anti-oxidants and viamins. More plants as diverse a variety as possible
