When people say things like supplements are a scam, they don't work, I just don't think they can read. I'm generally considering thinking they cannot physically read.

Yeah, well, there are thousands of studies on supplements, right? They're being kind of jerks when they say that, but what they're trying to say is, Supplements don't have the magnitude of impact that most people think. And that's true. So they do work, but they generally don't work like people think. It's uncommon for you to take one supplement and your life changes.

That's not the kind of impact supplements tend to have. If you want numbers, I don't know, if I had to add every supplement in the whole world together, I'd probably say most supplements change whatever you're measuring by 3% to 10%. It's not 50%. Yeah, it's not that much. It's not 90%. But if you're at a certain level where you've done the big stuff, that does move the needle by 90% or 200%.

And you are looking for that last 5% or 10%. Well, now a supplement can potentially do that. Now, there are some supplements... like a fish oil. That will move the needle in those really big numbers, like fiber potentially. And then there are others like a creatine, where the impact is more gonna be in that three to 10% range, but the safety profile's high.

They've been tested in every clinical population you can imagine, from brain damage to brain injuries to neurological disorders to pregnancy to kids to weight loss to young to old, right? And they very rarely have any negative side effects of any. And they generally improve a wide range of outcomes, like lean muscle, like brain health, like mood, like cognitive function. They're not doing a lot.

They're not at the same order of magnitude as a drug would do. But this is a context. So if you hear that and you think, oh, I knew it, they're a scam. Thank you.
