What I’ve studied and feel makes sense it that you want your vitamins, supplements, et al to be “food based”. This means you want them not to have been isolated by “Science” into a concentrated form, but to be delivered along with the “food” choices that were selected for their concentration levels.

Put another way: don’t give your body what it needs, give your body the ingredients - the building blocks - it needs to make what it needs.

This is a prime path that separates Western Science from Eastern Science.

Both are good, when you need them.

But both need to be understood for their pro’s and con’s.
