I don't believe that anyone should pop a supplement or a drug to try to cover up a problem - that is just chasing a cure in a bottle without addressing the underlying causes, and in that respect it could be likened to the overall philosophy of using mainstream drugs to manage symptoms instead of illness. On the other hand, there is absolutely no comparison to supplementing with a natural item to correct a deficiency versus taking unnatural drugs.
I try to point out that taking supplements without establishing a good health foundation is akin to trying to put a hasty patch ot two on a leaky roof which sits ontop of a building with a crumbling foundation. At best you may get some relief, but if a bad storm (disease) comes along, then you are ill equipped to ward it off.
