I remember seeing the ads for Alli and how they called it "a lifestyle". How does a product that just blocks 25% of your fat intake constitute a change lifestyle? While we will always see companies try to make the easy sale, by over promising results, there will be more and more offering what consumers really need. As we go forward into this wellness revolution (which is currently going on in case anyone is not aware), it will be the companies that educate and promote the synergistic benefit of nutrition, exercise and supplementation as a way to reach your optimum level of health as opposed to just one or two out of three.
