Asking For Self, Male 43, Karachi
Assalam-o-Alaikum,
My fruit intake is very low, so I've been taking surbex Z supplement on alternate days for almost 2 years. Should I keep taking it or give it a break?
Male, 43 No medical history Not taking any other medicine.
alternate days mean ? please explain
Wa allaikum salam
go for fresh fruit if you can afford it. These supplements are not meant for healthy people with no medical issues.

Thanks, Doctor, for your response. I have felt lethargic all the time since childhood. my all blood reports are normal, Alhamdulillah. So, a family doctor suggested taking surbex z due to lower fruit intake. I take mangoes, oranges, apples and bananas. Don't like any other fruit that much.

most of researches could not prove benefits of supplements so take enough fruits, have a balanced diet and do regular exercise and avoid supplements
Food supplements without any health issues makes no sense. However vit B complex and zinc have positive impacts on your body. We are conduction a study on zinc these days as well. However, you should take a break now if you have been taking it for this long without any ailments.
Take it for 3 months and then leave for 1 month and continue like this
or you can take one on alternate days
Kindly book an appointment for detail history.
in order to advise you further need to take history of eating habits. kindly take appointment for this.
give a break for one month,visit general physician
