It sounds like you’re referring to the idea that chicken gizzards are nutrient-dense and may reduce the need for certain supplements. That’s partially true:
- Chicken gizzards are high in protein, zinc, iron, and B vitamins (especially B12), which are important for energy, mental health, and some aspects of bone health.
- Iron & zinc help prevent fatigue and support brain function.
- Vitamin B12 is crucial for mood regulation and nerve health.
However, while gizzards are nutritious:
- They don’t provide enough calcium or vitamin D, which are essential for strong bones.
- They can’t replace all supplements, especially if you have a deficiency or medical condition.
So, eating gizzards can be a great natural boost for mental energy and some nutrients, but for bone health, you’d still need calcium, vitamin D, or other targeted support if your diet is lacking.
If you want, I can make a list of natural foods that together could cover both bone health and mental well-being, so you could minimize supplements safely. Do you want me to do that?
