TEMPLE, Texas — According to The Washington Post, in 2022 Americans spent approximately $35.6 billion on dietary supplements. 

That’s a lot of money for products that show little, if any, evidence of benefits. And many are not U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approved. 

But between gym memberships, supplements, pelotons, treadmills, and home gym equipment, are we spending too much? After all, the older we get, the more that we appreciate the saying, “If you haven’t got your health, you haven’t got anything.” 

Financial Advisor Rolandus ‘RoJo’ Johnson told 6 News, “As they say in our world, health is wealth. Right? The healthier you are the better things seem to be the older you get.”
