Do you take food supplements?

[Duks]

Many people usually take dietary supplements to get nutrients that they may not get enough of from food. Personally, I rely entirely on food to fulfil my dietary needs. How about you?

Ever since I was young I hated taking pills or syrup for vitamins. I would rather take them in a natural way by the food or by the drink. With food supplement I see it as synthetic or processed so I don't believe in that. If you eat good food and you have regular exercise then that would be enough to be considered healthy. There is no need for supplements that might only give you problems later on.

Unless recommended by a doctor due to nutrient deficiency, I don't take dietary supplements. The last dietary supplement that I took was Vitamin D. I was diagnosed with acute Vitamin D deficiency, therefore, I had to take vitamin D tablets. In normal conditions, I do not take dietary supplements. I believe we should take required minerals and vitamins from the food we eat, instead of relying on dietary supplements.

I started doing my research in my 50's and starting supplementing then. These have kept me healthy and at 83 take no big gun pharma drugs...don't get sick not even colds.

Many would be alive today if their Vit D levels were sufficient, I'm talking the covid saga.

I don't know what studies reported this, maybe pharma industry. They need sick people.
