The Ones to Skip

Some of the best-selling categories simply do not earn their price. Multivitamins showed no clear health benefit for well-fed people across several large trials. BCAAs are redundant the moment you eat enough protein, since whole protein already contains them.

Testosterone boosters lean on herbs that barely move the needle in human trials. Collagen supplements sound logical, but the promise is often bigger than the evidence. Some collagen peptides can be absorbed intact, yet that does not mean every product, dose, or beauty claim reliably rebuilds skin or joints where you want it.
