Can you live by only taking dietary supplements

No. Your body also needs fat, protein, and calories to survive.

NO!
The body would not be able to process the vitamins without water.
Humans also need the suns vitamin D which only the sun can provide.
Vitamins also do not provide healthy fats and carbs!
Plus, the muscles in the body would die off because of lack of protein.

no because the dietry supplements only work when you have a balanced diet. you still need food to survive.

My mom’s boyfriend says he knew a guy who he never saw eat, only take supplements. I guess it’s a strange thing to see but he says this guy looked very healthy and young for his age. I would say it’s not a good idea though but that’s my opinion.

yeah, it wouldn’t be too good for you. remember when David Blaine was under water taking those vitamin water and stuff? he survived for a weak on them, but he looked really messed up. plus, food just tastes good !!!

Probably but not as well as if you also ate some nutritious foods along with it. There may be other nutritional factors (vitamins, trace elements, enzymes etc. that we have not yet discovered and if so, the only way that you will get them is through eating nutritious foods.

No…I mean you could for a bit but you’d really mess up yourself and your body it needs things like protein, vitamins water, and sometimes fat

taking pills wont stop the hydrolic acids from digesting your stomach unless it has real food substances there to create all that slime and mucus plus you cant get the natural satisfaction of feeling full once you’ve eaten a meal

No, they provide nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, trace elements, etc.. but they do not provide fuel for your body to run on, i.e. calories. You would starve to death in the same amount of time whether or not you took supplements.

No, you need real food to nourish your body. Taking just dietary supplements will kill you.
