I give my boys vitiman c tablets. But I heard that you don't need the tablets of you feed them fruit and vegetables every day. What fruit and vegetables do I need to feed them to make up for the tablets? How much? Thank you

If you give them the tablets which dissolve into their water. Then no, it is not necessary and will do more harm than good.
If you give them veg each day, then they will get all the vitamin C they need.

Some veg can be given each day, such as carrots.

Sorry but carrots cannot be given daily as the high vitamin A content can effect the liver.

Ok, sure I saw it somewhere.
I give a slice of bell pepper which is around 1/8th of the pepper each day.
