      Do you honestly think that the scientific consensus is that nutrient supplements don’t work for treating deficiencies?

        You can google the papers yourself, I didnt make up that 10-30%. This is a known issue with pill supplements, and a massive criticism of the industry. Its a known scam, a waste of money that means people are “fixing” problems by buying expensive powder pills that do nothing for them.

        Theres a minor push among medical professionals to stop advising patients take supplements and instead reccomend specific dietary additions, but there is some speculation that the reason its not taken on by more doctors is a mix of inertial laziness of “good enough” medicine practices and supplement manufacturers paying doctors for their brand to be the reccomendation of choice.

        But sure bud, your anecdote about a blood test undermines all of that from the ground up.

          You keep saying 10-30% and then that they are ineffectual. So which is it? Clearly you then absorb 10-30% of the nutrients.

          And yeah, I don’t think doctors are being paid by private companies to advertise here in Norway. Especially because I get prescribed generic versions.

            Generic versions are still a brand being advertised, you just arent the person advertised to.

            If you think a maximal 30% intake of a deficient nutrient is enough to prevent the problems youre taking supplements for, youre absolutely the target demographic for this scam.

            But you clearly are more interested in an internet gotcha than your own health, so by all means bud. I dont give a shit if youre sick, and if you dont either more power to ya

              Yeah, I’m sure you know more than my doctor.

                Right, right, right. Thats why I cited my personal blood test, and not multiple public peer reviewed research papers.

                Anti science kooks are a riot man, you should take this show on tour

                Hey, kook, did it ever once occur to you that the reason youre “totally real and definitely happened” blood test comes up in the green is cause your diet is already sufficient? And your doc has you buying useless powder for no gain?

                No, couldnt be. Perish the thought.
