I certainly can justify it. Fish oil has omega 3 which the body needs to fight inflammation. I already explained why I take aspirin. Gluco/chondroitin has mixed reviews but I've noticed it's benefits.
One of the posters in this thread stated she takes calcium supplements for bone health - and she's the one that is more of a whole-food diet fan. Just goes to show that each of us has individual needs and supplements are a useful tool for
just that - to supplement a sensible diet.
The stuff I've listed do work for me. I've been taking it long enough to discern the placebo vs the empirical effect.
