Sounds like that sentence got cut off—but I can guess what you’re getting at.
There’s a common claim floating around that if you eat chicken gizzards, you don’t need to take supplements (often iron, B12, or multivitamins). That’s not entirely true, but there’s a reason people say it.
🐔 Why chicken gizzards get that reputation
Chicken gizzards are actually quite nutritious:
- High in protein
- Rich in iron (helps prevent anemia)
- Contain vitamin B12 (important for nerves and blood)
- Provide zinc and other minerals
Because of this, they can help support nutrient levels—especially if your diet is lacking.
⚠️ But here’s the reality
Eating gizzards does not automatically replace supplements because:
- You may still lack other nutrients (vitamin D, calcium, etc.)
- The amount you eat might not meet daily requirements
- Absorption varies from person to person
For example, someone with Iron Deficiency Anemia might still need medical treatment, not just diet changes.
👍 When they are helpful
Gizzards can be a great natural option if:
- You’re low in iron or B12 (mild cases)
- You want a budget-friendly, nutrient-dense food
- You include them as part of a balanced diet
🩺 Bottom line
- Gizzards = nutrient-rich food
- Supplements = targeted treatment when needed
👉 They’re not interchangeable.
If you tell me what supplement you meant (iron, calcium, etc.), I can give a more precise answer.
