I'm not expecting miracles, but am expecting to feel some difference, which is why I take what I take, and have believe it or not whittled down the list of supplements I'm taking greatly over the last year or so.

Fine, then use the chemical name so it seems more legit.

But are they expensive enough to be truly effective because if they just rely on the word of mouth of hypochondriacs and impressionable, earnest teenagers, Im not sold.

The obscurity buries the humor. Maybe the joke wasn't meant to be. Besides, are they entirely glucose or some kind of unsweet disaccharide?

It depends. For example, birth control pills use sugar of some sort.

In double blind drug studies, they may use the exact pill formulation minus the API.

One of the studies I worked on used a cream. I think it was some kind of basic hand lotion or something.

Actually, 5-HTP, DXM, diphenhydramine, etc are pretty high up there... Sleep is important.

Edit: the reason they aren't mentioned is that I don't use them consistently enough
