If supplements are next to useless, big pharma can cater increasingly to the dis-eased population; all while making money on the supplements you buy as well.
Find out who owns the supplement companies and you will most likely find your answer as to why they are NOT marketed in absorbable form.
It should be a crime...
It IS getting harder to find and buy REAL, whole food and absorbable supplements. My wife and kids thinks I am nuts fermenting and culturing foods, making kombucha, not worrying any about the dirt on food taken out of the garden etc. etc.
