This is not correct. An individual nutrient might not be as well absorbable by itself: it might need to be packed with other chemical from REAL foods to be absorbed.
Eg we know that different form of magneisum supplementation are absorbed in a very different % based on which substances they are "packed with".
It becomes even more complicated because certain foods might block nutrient absorption or certain diets might cause a loss of certain nutrients much more (eg high carb vs keto).
- IceMetalPunk 4y agoWhile you're right that that some nutrients are better (or worse) absorbed based on what other nutrients you digest at the same time, that doesn't really change the fact that you won't absorb/use more of any given nutrient than you need, so without a deficiency, supplements don't help.
