Makes you wonder.

    “boosting the immune system” is a marketing term, not a medical term. If you care about your health then have a chat to your doctor and ask them for advice. Supplements are unlikely to give you any health benefits, unless you have a specific deficiency.

    The psychology and marketing of supplements is very interesting. They’re easy to take (easier than making behavioural change like diet, sleep or exercise).

They are advertised on TV as being a good thing, in association with imagery of doctors and healthy-looking people.
