I don't know about this supplement question. I feel like supplements are actually pretty natural, like they are just a shortcut to get a little more of what we need.


What could be unnatural about getting some extra B vitamins from a special yeast like nutritional yeast?


Is taking extra iron (if I need it, since I seem to be a person with a high need for this) as iron, instead of as the blood of an animal, less natural?


Is taking extra zinc as zinc, instead of as the flesh of a fish, less natural?


(by the way, I know plant foods have iron and zinc. Please don't be too mad at me about that)


I don't want to struggle and suffer with infection, exposure to cold, or any of the other things my ancestors may have succumbed to. So I take advantage of modern conveniences like a gas-heated abode and any supplements that will keep me feeling well. I enjoy fresh fruit and also take some C. Why not?


Is it possible that even someone on a very good diet can benefit from a little boost? Or even a big boost?


How could any diet ever be "perfect"?
