Verbatim response from Claude
Here are some solid options to help fill nutritional gaps from low vegetable intake:
Greens Powders
- Athletic Greens (AG1) - Very comprehensive, includes vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and plant extracts. Pricey but well-regarded.
- Garden of Life Raw Organic Perfect Food - Whole food based, organic, good ingredient transparency
Multivitamins
- Thorne Basic Nutrients - High quality, well-absorbed forms of nutrients
- Ritual Essential - Clean ingredients, good for filling common gaps like K2, D3, and folate
Specific Nutrients You May Be Missing
- Vitamin K2 - Try MegaFood or Jarrow Formulas
- Magnesium - Natural Calm (powder form, easy to take)
- Fiber - Metamucil or Benefiber to replace fiber from vegetables
- Folate - Look for methylfolate form in Thorne or Seeking Health brands
Important Caveats
- Supplements don't fully replace vegetables - phytonutrients and fiber combinations are hard to replicate
- Talk to your doctor before starting, especially if you have health conditions
- Try to gradually add even small amounts of real vegetables alongside supplements
