Red face average compliance

for RX meds is only a bit less than 50% too.

People are just resistant to taking things. (they will take things however to get an enjoyable response-this is mediated by the neurotransmitter dopamine as a pleasure reinforcement).

But supplements are slow acting..and do not reinforce typically. After one gets better on them, there is a human tendency to think you are "cured" and stop taking them.

I don't think people are genetically programed to fix themselves. We rather would have a designated person (like a doctor) fix us. That is just the way it is I guess.
