any suggestions on pro's and con's of taking supplements vs. food sourcing. I have heard a lot of
stuff about vitamins/minerals in supplement form reducing your bodies natural capacity to absorb it
from food etc..

Nobody really knows, but I think the prevailing assumption is that if you can, it's better to get
your nutrients from food than from a pill.

However, in some cases that may not be possible -- if you want to megadose vitamin C, for example,
you really have no alternative to pills. There's no way you could consume enough food to get those
gigantic doses.

correct. "If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my
shoulders." (Hal Abelson, MIT)
