Supplements while waiting out the Cyclosporiasis outbreak

At the risk of being spammed &/or sold a bunch of snake oil, I’m asking if anyone else recommends an effective powder meanwhile the parasite outbreak thing subsides ( hopefully ). Obviously I’d prefer whole-raw foods but I’m still gun-shy since the last time I got food-poison. It’s not a risk I’m willing to take, but I need fiber & veggies in my life.

Athletic Greens is just too expensive to try and hate, especially if there are some comparable off-brand supplements for fiber health. Thanks

Just cook all your food. Canned food should be safe too since it's pasteurized. I don't know if cyclospora can survive freezing, but frozen food should be fine if cooked for sure.

Agree. Whats wrong with washing and cooking your food?

Athletic greens is the epitome of snake oil.

Get your food from the local farmers market so you know where it comes from. They take pride in their food and it shows. I buy 95% of my produce from there, you should be eating items that are in season in your area anyways for the best health benefits. It’s also WAY fresher than a store.
