I look at supplements the same way I look at the salt lamp fad. It looks cool, it would be great if it worked as claimed.... There is just no proof it works or that there is anything special about it. Someone gave me a salt lamp and it's pretty but it's just a rock with a bulb in it. Many companies sell these as sort of magical wellness items. People pay way too much and usually they are paying for claims that can't be proven. (Folks get emotional about alt health so I want to say I'm not here to talk down to anyone or judge anyone this is my experience only. If things work for you that's great.) Used to be in an alt health field. Had to get out because there was so much bogus stuff being promoted as a cure all. I couldn't willfully lie and omit to sell unregulated products sick people would ingest in search of relief. Herbal medicine can be great but with many herbal supplements Regulation rarely exists and leaves a lot to be desired in terms of safety. You'll have people talking about the ancient plant medicine, use buzz words like pure and healing and selling you their "top shelf" supplement. The supplement itself can be sketchily sourced but even if that supp is pure and safe the hype around it creates many more copycats. Pricey Brand and flea market mystery sourced supplements require the same level of regulation: none. People with health problems or who don't have money for "better products" or legit treatment are bound to buy inferior products. If the cheap product doesn't work people go on to buy more and more thinking it's the brand. It could just be the industry. Some of supps contain nothing but pill binders or neutral oils. In worst cases they contain substances harmful to health. I really had to leave alt health because it was so much about parting sick people from their money with things that don't make them better and might actually make them worse. Other things; if you're taking a supplement and getting side effects it's hard to know what's happening. Is it the substance you're buying or the company that makes the product you got. People end up wasting a lot of their time and money chasing this idea of healing. I'd be happy "nothing happened" better than a bad experience. Are you taking homeopathic or herbal? In my personal opinion homeopathic medicine is a double scam because it contains usually only the thought of the substance on the label. I guess I don't mean to offend anyone who believes in it but the labels admit how little of the substance is in the product you buy. Basically only count on these things anecdotally working. Many supplements, esp homeopathic work only about as well as placebo. Don't beat yourself up over it. Hope is important to have but you're probably discouraged. You put your hope in this thing aomeone said would be a sure bet and it doesn't work for you? I'd be aggravated too and I also wouldn't try it again. (I'm not here to argue the merits of alt medicine. Was here to put this comment here and will not engage in a debate about unregulated supplements. People have tried and failed to change my mind. No offense meant at all, if it works for you that's great for you.) I've tried many supplements in my day but would only really recommend from my experience: Hemp CBD, THC weed, herbal arnica topicals, whole ginger and Kava tea. None of them require a MLM subscription, some are even regulated. I just remember how long I tried herbs to sleep. Every time I can't sleep I think of how much Valerian root tasted like the smell of dirty socks and will myself to sleep faster.
