Health supplements was the original drop-shipping.

Tim Ferriss’s “4 Hour Work Week” was all about drop-shipping health supplements.

He went on to become rich from teaching ppl to setup websites to sell health supplements.

Surprise this sector hasn’t digested itself.

I heard of that book. I haven’t read it though.

Interesting. You just think consumers would have learned their lesson by now.

You just need to eat healthy balanced diet. No supplement is going to give you super powers or transform your life. I think it’s mostly placebo effect. All the supplement studies are based on rats. I’m no biologist but I think human body and rats are have different dietary requirements for optimised health.

Also read that you don’t absorb the vitamins/minerals properly in a supplement form. You need to eat and break it down via real food.

What I’ve studied and feel makes sense it that you want your vitamins, supplements, et al to be “food based”. This means you want them not to have been isolated by “Science” into a concentrated form, but to be delivered along with the “food” choices that were selected for their concentration levels.

Put another way: don’t give your body what it needs, give your body the ingredients - the building blocks - it needs to make what it needs.

This is a prime path that separates Western Science from Eastern Science.

Both are good, when you need them.

But both need to be understood for their pro’s and con’s.

im no expert but what your saying makes sense. I just feel the benefits of supplements are over exaggerated and probably more just positive placebo effect.

Your thoughts are very powerful.
