Nutritional studies are underfunded, but supplements are not nutrition. Supplements are simply pills that have not gone through the phases of clinical trials necessary to prove they are safe, do what they claim to do, and work better than any available alternative. They also aren't studied for adverse effects while on the market. Hell, they're not even regulated for quality control, so you don't know if the vitamin D supplement you're buying has 400IU or nearly 200,000IU!
For years I had leg cramps. After the first dose of magnesium glycinate, the problem disappeared. I take it every day and haven’t had a recurrence. That is enough evidence for me.
Glad you're not suffering from leg cramps anymore, they absolutely suck. In the world of supplements, there is always the chance that what you're taking doesn't even contain any magnesium and you've simply placeboed your cramps away.
Just because a supplement is not regulated by the government does not mean it’s not quality. There are quality manufacturers. There is also a strength in numbers — millions of people who use a supplement and can attest to its effectiveness. Big pharma would rather develop expensive blockbuster drugs than certify the safety and effectiveness of lower cost supplements. We do need to select supplement brands carefully.
