Good comment Christos. I don’t think all supplements are completely useless but I do think people generally rely on them too much. Many people would rather pop a multi vitamin instead of trying to incorporate a few more fruits and vegetables into their diet and I don’t think this is the right attitude to have.

I don’t believe in supplements .I believe in the power and wisdom of nature.
I believe in the unique synergy of the different nutrients in real foods.
We were not created to consume synthetic stuff!
Nice job! Greetings from Greece!

Hey Greg - Definitely agree with you. This article is meant to focus on getting your vitamins from natural foods foods and not supplements. In fact I have written an article which outlines the various reasons why multi vitamin supplements are not necessary. One of the reasons I give for avoiding multi vitamins is that they are not as easily absorbed as natural alternatives. Whilst I don't think that all supplements are useless I definitely agree that you should go for natural foods where possible

I’ve often wondered if supplements are actually effective. There are a number of studies that suggest they are poorly absorbed and under-utilized when consumed as pills. Thoughts?

Hey Chriss – Thanks for the comments. However, have to disagree with you. I don’t think supplements are the best way to get your vitamins. As I say at the end of this article I hope that by providing you with these vitamin rich foods you do not have to rely on supplements. I think food should always be your number one choice for getting your vitamins.

Hey Tyler. Thanks for your comments. You are indeed correct. Tomatoes are a rich source of vitamin A, vitamin C and a number of B vitamins. They just only made it on to my list under vitamin B5. So no need to worry…you haven’t been wrong all these years…those pizzas have been providing you with vitamin A and a few others too.
