"... so far as I can tell."
Look - anyone of us can just spout our opinion. What separates HN is that people take the time to explain their reasons and often credentials. If you said, "Here's why and BTW I've worked in this industry as an XYZ for 25 years" - your opinion might matter. But as stated you've just stated your own personal opinion as though it is fact. Downvoted for that reason.

You must be thinking of HN from a few years back, it's basically just a discussion site these days AFAICT. My opinion wasn't on the supplements by the way, it's on the industry. The industry which in Europe has to include disclaimers in all its advertising to the effect of "this stuff might be useful for the elderly and those on restricted diets" because there's no evidence for anything. The industry which heavily resists any effort to regulate it various medical claims in the same way actual medicines are regulated. It's shady as hell. I assumed this was common knowledge.
