Yeah, every so often, I look at the supplements I take and think, "This isn't what nature intended."
BUT: I'm not living how nature intended. I live in a big pollution/smog-riddled city, I use artificial lighting, I live most of my time in an artificially controlled indoor environment, I have little idea where my food comes from or how it was grown.... etc.
What's one more artificial aspect added to the mix if it is beneficial to what is ideal? If it corrects what is missing from the mix due to the detrimental effects of the other things?
I'm now currently taking a vitamin D supplement, though I have stopped using ginkgo biloba.
