Many people take a multi-vitamin and think of it as their insurance policy or protection against eating poorly. The mindset is that taking this pill will help them offset the bad foods they eat and the lack of good foods they’re not eating.

Taking a supplement should always be viewed as a bonus to eating properly not as an excuse to eat poorly.

You are always better of getting your nutrients in whole natural foods vs. a supplement.

That doesn’t mean supplements are bad. In fact, in some situations supplements are preferred.

An ideal use of supplements is to get nutrients that aren’t easily available in common foods or in foods you simply refuse to eat.

Another good time to use supplementation is when your body needs certain herbs that you’re never going to eat or cook with.

Otherwise, choose foods over supplements. Every time.
