As someone who is very interested in nootropics, I have been lately buying and trying some supplements some of which contains ingredients/chemicals that can be found naturally in food though usually in quantities too large that just eating the foods couldn't provide enough of or it would be really inefficient and thus the need to take a supplement.
Without going into too much backstory, I've always wanted to know why eating the foods themselves are considered more beneficial than taking supplements. Are synthesized vitamins just as good as natural vitamins in fruit and vegetables? I know the real vegetables will have other qualities to them, such as fiber, but is there really any more to it than that? If you took all the vitamins in a peach in supplement form, and then drank a fiber supplement, would it have practically speaking effectively the same health value as eating the peach?
If someone could take potentially every possible supplement that provides what eating vegetables and fruit would give them (minus the fiber as aspect) would they still be missing out? Are "natural" vitamins found in fruits and vegetables (or meat) different/better than those synthesized in a lab? I cant imagine why that would be, unless our synthesis methods are still imperfect?
Does my question make sense??? If not tell me and I'll try and clarify further for you! :confused::confused:
This has really bugged me for some time now, and the Internet is too full of woo assumptions that natural is always better or people just trying to sell supplements that you dont need.
