Generally true for adequate nutrition, not true for optimal nutrition.
Also, don't forget cooking, which destroys some nutrient. If you eat
paleo
foods (animal or plant in origin), but often cook it (thus deviating
from
a paleo way of eating) you may need to supplement to bring yourself to
just
a sufficient level.

This probably looks like a very obvious statement, and it is, so
please
don't start debates about it. I just find it usefull to say this so
that the above statement is taken in its proper context and not then
extrapolated to mean that supplements have no place on a paleo diet.
