Executive summary

Available reporting in the provided results does not include any quote or passage in which Bruce Willis personally claims health benefits from specific supplements; coverage instead focuses on his dementia (FTD/aphasia), family updates, and care arrangements [1] [2] [3]. Searches of the supplied items show discussions about his diagnosis, family statements and a wife’s memoir/interviews, but none of these sources mention Willis claiming improvements from supplements [4] [5] [6].

1. What the reporting actually documents: illness, retirement and family updates

Most items in the supplied set report Bruce Willis’s diagnosis (initially aphasia, later updated to frontotemporal dementia), his retirement from acting in 2022 and subsequent family updates describing his mobility, care and day‑to‑day status — for example, Emma Heming Willis telling Diane Sawyer that he remains “very mobile” while his brain is “failing him,” and Rumer Willis offering emotionally frank updates about how traditional measures of progress “no longer make sense” [1] [2] [3].

2. Where supplements would have appeared — in interviews and a wife’s book — but do not, per these sources

Emma Heming Willis’s forthcoming book and media interviews are covered by Deadline and podcast/interview reporting in the provided items; those pieces talk about coping strategies, secret ways he worked while ill, and family routines, but the summaries and excerpts supplied do not report Bruce Willis endorsing supplements or claiming benefits from them [4] [5]. Available sources do not mention Bruce Willis attributing health improvements to supplements [4] [5].

3. Instances of alternative medical claims in the corpus — third parties, not Willis

One supplied item notes that a post on X (formerly Twitter) from Dr. Bryan Ardis — a chiropractor and alternative‑medicine figure — linked aphasia to statin use and mentioned Willis in that context. That is a third‑party social‑media claim reported in a piece about aphasia triggers; it is not a statement by Bruce Willis about supplements, and the text in our results frames it as a reported post rather than established fact [7].

4. Why absence of evidence in these sources matters

Journalistically, absence of a claim across multiple interviews, family statements and media excerpts is meaningful: the pieces provided focus on diagnosis, progression and caregiving, and when other health‑related theories surface (for example, the statin/aphasia post) they are presented as external commentary rather than as something Willis himself said [1] [2] [7]. Therefore asserting that Willis claimed supplement benefits would go beyond what these documents support — available sources do not mention such claims [6] [4].

5. Competing perspectives and possible agendas in the reporting

The materials include mainstream news accounts (AP‑fed items), entertainment outlets, a wife’s promotional coverage for a book, and alternative‑medicine commentary; each comes with implicit agendas: family interviews and memoir publicity can emphasize resilience and privacy [4] [5], celebrity news outlets highlight human interest and access [1] [3], while alternative‑medicine voices promote causal links between drugs and conditions [7]. These differing aims explain why some pieces focus on care and compassion, others on exposé‑style linkage, and none in this set document Willis endorsing supplements.

6. What to look for next if you need confirmation

If you want a definitive answer, request primary sources not in this batch: direct interviews with Bruce Willis or Emma Heming Willis transcripts, press releases, or coverage that quotes Willis discussing supplements. The supplied items indicate Emma’s book and televised interviews are key places where caregivers or Willis himself would disclose treatment approaches — but in the excerpts we have, no such supplement claims appear [4] [5] [2].

Conclusion: based on the search results you've given, there is no documented claim by Bruce Willis that supplements provided him health benefits; the reporting instead centers on his diagnosis, family updates and third‑party speculation [1] [2] [7].
