When it comes to medicine and nutritional supplements we tend to be on our toes about what we buy. That’s why it can feel reassuring when you see a big name brand in the sea of products on the store shelves. Part of that feeling comes from wanting to be assured that when you buy from a big brand, it has to work, right? How else would they be as successful as they are?

I know how hard it can be to feel hopeful again about finally losing excess fat or overcoming indigestion pains. There’s a sea of products out on the market that make a lot of different promises, but the only thing they have in common is that most of these promises fail.
