Food vs. Supplements

While supplements can help fill nutritional gaps, whole foods offer advantages that pills cannot replicate:

  • Better Absorption — Nutrients in food are often absorbed more efficiently due to synergistic compounds.
  • Additional Nutrients — Foods contain fiber, antioxidants, and phytochemicals that supplements lack.
  • Lower Risk — It is nearly impossible to overdose on nutrients from food alone.
  • Cost-Effective — Getting nutrients from a balanced diet is generally more economical.

Bottom line: Food first. Supplements fill gaps when diet alone is insufficient.
