So, you’re staring at your supplement shelf — that little lineup of good intentions — thinking: “Is any of this even doing anything?”
You’ve got fish oil that smells a little... suspicious. A multivitamin that could double as a paperweight. Some magnesium that sends you running to the bathroom. And let’s not forget the $12 herbs you grabbed at checkout because an influencer said “they work.”
