If you have been around for a while you have noticed the following pattern: a supplement/vitamin, amino acid/antioxidant gets great medical research showing they are effective. After a lot of money is made by the manufacturers, negative studies begin to pop up. “It does no good—it may even be harmful.” Then, studies begin to demonstrate conclusively that the pharmaceutical version does work after all because it is so much better.
The latest example of this is Fish Oil. The same thing has happened with vitamins A, B, D, amino acids GABA, Arginine, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and assorted molecules like Folic MTHFR, Melatonin, SAMe, Lithium, Capsaicin, etc.
Do they really think we are that dumb?
