Have you considered that your expectations of supplements not working have caused a reverse placebo effect?
I don’t take many supplements but they all work for their intended purpose.
creatine for muscle recovery and making me a tiny bit stronger
ZMA (zinc, magnesium, b6). for deeper sleep and overcoming multiday hangovers
melatonin for vivid dreams and waking up feeling more refreshed.
b12/d3 for energy
i don’t take them all every day, but they have consistently noticeable effects and have improved my quality of life.
i also just use the store brands from major retailers, and have low expectations.
More importantly when I was in my late thirties I also thought feeling shitty was just part of getting older, but it turned out I had cancer. talk to a doctor.
