A really good article from the training peaks blog. It’s best practice to get your nutrients from real food than from a pill. Even moderation of food consumption is better than trying to load up on just one nutrient from that food item. My recommendation would be a quality multi-vitamin/mineral supplement once a day just for security sake. Enjoy those cherries and all the other nutrients that go along with it.
More power to you.
