After some preliminary research, I’ve found the consensus to be that you can’t replace fruits and vegetables with multi-vitamins and fiber supplements. But, I can’t find an adequate answer for why this is. What does the food offer that the vitamins don’t (aside from macronutrients that could be attained from foods other than fruits and vegetables)? It seems logical that they wouldn’t be interchangeable – just looking for a more specific answer.

I have a long standing issue with anemia. As a teen I was ordered on iron pills to help. Fell away from it over time. Now in my forties I am back on them just so I can donate blood. If I don’t, I am turned away for low iron. So the only pill I can really speak to are iron pills, they work. I’m know nothing about the rest of the garbage on the market, so I don’t take it. Veggies all the way.
