But this just isn't true... if you are deficient or have difficulty absorbing particular nutrients then supplementation can help. You shouldn't do it randomly, though, it should be based on getting a blood test and looking at specific markers.

Also there is a whole field of research that looks at whether therapeutic doses of vitamins/supplements can be used as part of a treatment package for certain diseases. And yes, often times they can but again, you need to know what you're doing.

I think you missed reading the last line in this other comment you are responding to. I'm NOT saying ALL supps are bad or unnecessary (in fact I literally said the opposite😉). I am saying that they are unnecessary for anyone NOT living with some sort of disease state- in other words for maintenance or high performance. Of course you should get tested, not just take supps based on your guess-estimation of levels or because someone else said on a podcast or blog! But one needs to also understand that alot of our tests for markers, are based on BS understanding or interpretation of the body, but it's the best we come up with so far, regardless of whether it's actually a correct assumption😉

I'm sorry if my comments offend any deeply held beliefs or understandings around vitD, or other supps, but doesn't mean it's not true. But I respect you to do your own due diligence, think about the problem and challenge any preconceived notions. There in lies the truth.🤗
