You need independent studies. Unfortunately, the FDA has undergone regulatory capture to a significant extent -- more from the pharmaceutical companies than from the supplement manufacturers, including the former trying to use political influence to kill off or capture the latter. And universities and their programs have become increasingly dependent upon and so captured by commercial dollars for funding. So, we need science to help sort this out. But at the same time, our practiced science is becoming more political, commercial, and biased. P.S. We also need science to say "we don't know" instead of "we don't have a scientific explanation, ergo it's bollocks".
