The power of marketing. If you put something on the market people will buy it.
I am not a big believer in nutraceuticals in general. I 90% of what they are selling is image and hope. In some cases if you have a vitamin deficiancy, it might help. But then so would an inexpensive multi-vitamin.
Of course marketing is a powerful tool. However, I bellieve that there are high quality supplements with high quality ingredients vs lower quality ones. Some supplements are manufactured using developed scientific technologies and are tested before making it to the market, others are not based on science and/or are just multi-vitamins. I think that the end result from using these products will be different. In the end, it's up to the consumer to make an informed decision.
