I hear you 100%

Here's a very small intro to the lengths that our bodies go through to maintain optimum concentrations of components of our blood:

I personally know people who felt loads better after taking nutrient X, even though blood test said that nutrient X levels were fine...our body has numerous mechanisms to pull nutrients out of our body into our blood to make sure those changes are very small.

> No need to buy them if the levels are fine.

The "right levels" can vary strongly by person. Biochemical Individuality goes into detail about why blood chemistry averages can range from useless to counterproductive when it comes down to an individual: https://www.amazon.com/Biochemical-Individuality-Roger-Williams/dp/0879838930

Blood tests are great for many other things...like detecting SEVERE deficiencies...infections, etc. But less useful answering the exact question of "Should I take supplement X?".

having not done a thorough physical, bloodwork and examination i would have to assume this is unlikely.

Not to say they aren't healthy, but they are definitely not the peak of healthy since there is bound to be missing nutrients, enzymes, bacteria and chemicals in their diets.
