Can supplements deemed health foods replace regular food?

Many health supplements are made with excessive amounts of nutrients or contain highly concentrated substances and consumption of health supplements alone can pose a danger of overconsumption of certain nutrients. Even when dieting, eating three proper meals every day is very important. Health supplements may be used on top of this to compensate for nutrients you may be lacking. If you feel ill during use, however, immediately cease using any supplements you are taking and seek diagnosis at a medical institution. It is also best to consult with a doctor, pharmacist, or nutritionist before taking supplements if you have any concerns.
