They can sell you a powdered form of sterilized sloth cum, promise crazy results, and enjoy ridiculous profit.

You do know pharmaceutical or some corporations have been buying up supplement companies and weakening their formulas right?
Why would they do that?
To my knowledge the studies and research are done on things like vitamins, anti-oxidants and minerals and they do show health benefits just not all of them. I've read them. The FDA regulates them but they don't need to do so as strictly. Then there's the issue of co-factors in nature that have not all been isolated which help a supplement work. I don't buy off the shelf generally, unless it's just a one a day type thing. I received mine from health care practitioners and in one case a prescription based supplement.
