There are independnet testing/trials, and clinical tests results. Most companys out there has neither of those.
Why dont they do these tests? because their moneys are spend on mass marketing instead of focusing on whether the products works or not.

If i were to take some special supplements I would want the ones that a doctor would prescribe and know that its been clinically proven.

I don't see my family doctor for supplements because they know little or nothing about vitamins and nutrition. My family use a Naturopathic doctor and they prescribe them for us. At least i know i am getting stuff that has worked or been working from a doctor's office, and not just something someone tried to pyramid market me
