Supplements Ineffective or ObsoleteAn article entitled, "Association Among
Dietary Supplement Use, Nutrient Intake, and Mortality Among U.S.
Adults: A Cohort Study" was published in the May, 2019, issue of
Annals
of Internal Medicine (2019;170(9):604-613). The
Does this mean isolated supplements (such as a vitamin A, B, C and K, multi-vitamins, mineral supplements of magnesium, zinc, copper, etc.) are useless? No, but they have limited usefulness. Here is our "wholistic" perspective. Taking isolated supplements is like the fable of the little Dutch Boy who stuck his finger in the dike to stop the water leak. He is the town's hero but the problem is, his finger is stuck in the dike forever because this is not a permanent fix. Yes, taking isolated supplements may temporarily "fix" a nutrient deficiency (the symptom) but one has not "fixed" the original cause of the symptom. Thus, the body is now dependent on this nutritional "fix." Here is a not-so-recent study to prove our holistic point. Back in the 18th century, European
travelers were crossing the Atlantic Ocean to the New World. They
discovered if they drank fresh lime juice they did not get scurvy (a
Here are some older studies that prove our "wholistic" principle: Nutrition from isolated supplements (such as a Vitamin C, D, E and K, multivitamin, calcium and other mineral supplements, fish oil capsules, etc.) have limited usefulness fixing symptoms, while nutrition from whole food products (such as oranges, salmon and algae) is far superior and more complete in nourishing and balancing ALL the glands and organs of the WHOLE body.
The holistic choice is up to you:
In addition to all the above advantages, taking or giving to your pet whole food products also has the advantage of saving you money. Research shows that absorption and utilization of nutrients from isolated supplements (extracted or concentrates active ingredients made into a pill or capsule) is only 10-25%. The rest is being flushed down the toilet or pooped out by your pet. On the other hand, absorption and utilization of nutrients from whole food products is 90-95%. So, taking or giving to your pet whole food products can literally save you money. See the slide below for a graphic on how.

was to evaluate the association among dietary supplement use, levels of
nutrient intake from foods and supplements, and mortality among U.S.
adults. The study used data from 1999 to 2010, linked to National Death
Index mortality data. Over 30,000 participants, U.S. adults aged 20
years or older, answered questions on dietary supplement use. The
