Food supplements suppose to be supplements.
Not replacing a healthy diet.
Using food supplements as a health solution will:
- lack the synergies of nutrients in whole foods helping absorption and effectiveness
- lack variety of nutrients, only concentrating on certain ones
- lack the fiber and other components that contribute to digestive health
- do not provide the same chronic disease prevention effects
- some vitamins and minerals can be toxic in high doses, particularly fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K
- relying solely on supplements can create imbalances
Also as a general rule of thumb, there is no free lunch.
You cannot get healthy from a few tablets a day. You may can drop weight, but it will be temporary, and if you do not change, it will come back.
