Placebo is a multi trillion market. Not only in the form of vitamin, dietary supplement or other non-active pill but also of shopping, psycho-boosting or feel-good behaviour. Even religion is a form of placebo!
I am fed up with various "products" that come to my door: mix of vitamins, a-lipoic acid and ashwagada. I can imagine among the billions of physically healthy adults, there are many that choose them. While regulation for drugs is strict, for these products it is less that potato chips. The FDA goes like, as soon as they sell snake oil that doesn't hurt anyone, let the market loose.
