Dear Steemians, sometimes you must have wondered that which is better and when? Supplement or Food? Here's what the latest science says:

EAT MEAT, DRINK WHEY
A 2017 study confirmed that taking BCAAs stimulated muscle protein synthesis after a workout – but there’s a caveat: it seemed to cause less of an increase than protein sources containing a complete range of amino acids in comparison with earlier studies. The message? Eat meat and drink whey when you can – both contain a complete range – and save the BCAAs for mid-workout, if you use them at all.
USE ‘GREEN’ PILLS RARELY
If making kale juice and carrot smoothies is too much effort, “green” pills are an increasingly popular option for those trying to increase their veg intake in a few gulps. The downside is it’s tough to know what part of the plant you’re getting. For instance, while broccoli’s cancer fighting compounds are mostly found in the florets, manufacturers often use the stems. Consume with caution.
REAL FISH BEATS OIL
It does for some outcomes, anyway. Oily fish has well-established protective effects against coronary trouble and stroke, but in at least one large-scale review of studies, the oil alone is less impressive. Research suggests that amino acids and trace elements in grilled salmon might be just as beneficial as omega 3 capsules. Stick with the pills, but aim to eat fish two to three times a week as a back-up.
TAKE YOUR VITAMIN D
According to a recent NICE study, one in five UK adults are deficient, and unless you’re hitting the fish several times a week it’s unlikely that you’re getting enough from mushrooms and eggs. The UK’s sun is rarely strong enough to let you hit your recommended levels, so supplement with 1,000IU once a day to boost immunity, promote proper muscle function and improve your recovery from workouts.
Its clear that food is better than supplement.
Yes exactly, you are right... Thanks for your precious comment. Stay blessed.

I tend to only take supplements when they are recommended for a specific deficiency. For example, a couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with very low iron and potassium and magnesium. I took supplements as recommended for about a year; but now, I follow some dietary recommendations to maintain my potassium and magnesium.
As for my iron deficiency, that was found to be caused by a low blood count when I had a recent medical crisis. While I was in hospital, they gave me a 350ml transfusion and two intravenous iron infusions (I’m actually trying to find a hematologist who’s covered by my insurance for a third infusion). I’m very anemic, but the doctors have told me NOT to take iron supplements because there could be health dangers with the infusions. Supplements aren’t always beneficial and, like anything else, should not be consumed without a doctor’s consultation – especially if you are already in care for chronic illnesses.
Thank you so much for this precious and warm comment. Stay blessed.
