Real Food Replaces Supplements

Walk down any pharmacy aisle and you’ll see what most modern diets are missing—shelves of pills for vitamin D, omega-3s, iron, calcium, collagen, and magnesium.

But here’s the thing: you don’t need 12 bottles of capsules if you eat real food nose-to-tail. Pastured eggs, raw milk, bone broth, grass-fed beef, liver…these are nature’s multivitamins, perfectly packaged with the cofactors and proteins your body needs to actually use them.

Supplements try to replace what’s missing in cheap food. Real food never lost it in the first place.

• Vitamin D? Grass-fed butter and raw milk carry it naturally, alongside K2 and calcium—the cofactors your body needs to actually use it.
• Fish oil? Pastured eggs and 100% grass-fed beef deliver omega-3s in balance with other fatty acids.
• Iron tablets? A serving of liver gives you heme iron (the form your body absorbs) plus B12 and copper.
• Collagen powders? Bone broth and slow-cooked roasts provide the amino acids for joint, gut, and skin health.
• Multivitamins? Eggs, dairy, and diverse pastured meats supply B vitamins, selenium, and trace minerals—all in bioavailable forms.

Even if you take every supplement on the shelf, you’re still missing what real food gives: synergy, context, and satisfaction. Nutrients are designed to work together. Proteins and fats carry them where they need to go. Flavor and satiety that pill capsules can't offer.

When you choose nutrient-dense, nose-to-tail foods, you’re not just buying groceries. You’re making the most valuable investment you can make—one that pays dividends in energy, resilience, and long-term health.
