Supplements make people feel better.

There's absolutely no question about that.

Yeah, it's this other thing.

It has a fabulous placebo effect.

Magic.

There's plenty of evidence that supplements are fabulous placebos.

And, in fact, I can tell you a story about a study that proved that.

But it doesn't matter.

Life is really hard these days.

And if all it takes is a supplement pill to make people feel better, I'm not going to argue too much about it.

I love placebos.

Yeah, I do too.

They're so powerful.

I do too.

So if you're going to buy supplements, you buy from the most reputable company you can find and keep your fingers crossed.
