Eating well | Canadian Cancer Society / Should you take a vitamin and mineral supplement?
"The best way to get the vitamins and minerals you need is by eating a variety of healthy foods every day. This includes vegetables, fruit, whole grains and protein foods. If you're not very hungry and don't eat a lot, you may not get enough of these nutrients from food. Talk to a dietitian on your healthcare team about how eating is going during treatment, especially if you have treatment side effects such as nausea and vomiting, taste changes or diarrhea. If you're not eating enough to get the vitamins and minerals you need, they will recommend the right supplements for you."
