Supplements aren’t clinically studied so we can’t recommend them.”
Here’s why that argument doesn’t actually make sense 👇🏼

Clinical trials cost $20–100+ million to run. That’s why they’re usually funded by pharmaceutical companies — who can:
✔️ Patent the drug
✔️ Get FDA approval
✔️ Recoup the cost (and more) through insurance + exclusivity

You can’t patent a natural substance like magnesium or turmeric. So there’s no financial incentive to spend millions studying something you can’t own — even if it works.

So no, the supplement industry doesn’t run billion-dollar clinical trials. Not because supplements are ineffective. But because the system isn’t designed to support research on natural compounds that can’t be monetized like Rx medications.

That’s why the whole “there’s no clinical trial” argument is incomplete at best. But here’s the part that actually matters: How do you choose a high-quality supplement?

✔️ cGMP certified — means the product is made in a facility that meets FDA standards for safety, purity, and potency
✔️ Third-party tested — NSF, USP, or ConsumerLab verified
✔️ No proprietary blends — transparent dosing, nothing hidden
✔️ Clinical dosages — not just trendy ingredients sprinkled in for the label

Not all supplements are created equal. But the good ones? They’re backed by real science, smart formulation, and quality manufacturing 🤗
