Fair enough. We are of like mind. Understanding of a whole lot more isn't known than is, but a standard is necessary to validate.
The biggest issue with supplements is the lack of oversight. Pumping money into marketing instead of research. A perfect example of the variance you can get from the same type of supplement based on the manufacturer is a huge problem. One will work and the other is worthless. A fuller explanation about this is covered on Stuff You Should Know podcast on the Probiotic episode. It addresses the very problem of a compound that would have health benefits but too often the manufacturer doesn't really sell it in the delivery method necessary for the body to be able to process, even though the supplement contains x or y as it says but worthless in its present form.
