Yes, I'm not advocating someone to try a homeopathic recipe for cancer. However, there are times when supplements can be beneficial and you can find actual reports in the NCBI and legitimate references and supporting information on Wikipedia.
Multivitamins and probiotics are things that can help supplement nutrients and help with digestion for people that may not be getting enough in their daily meals. Some people choose to be Vegan, and it is nice when you can find options sold by Amazon that don't have a bunch of fillers in their supplements or meat products.
I recently had some issues and found that an organic garlic supplement and apple cider vinegar concentrate helped me feel better. Would I still go to the doctor in case of a medical emergency? Absolutely! However, there are a lot of great herbs and extracts out there that provide benefits to a persons health. As always, do your own research and know the risk.

Parent is not busting the chops of Whole Foods for carrying vitamins and supplements that arguably have some minor benefit for a subset of the population. No, parent is busting their chops for carrying magic water that, AFAICT, has zero supporting evidence.
In the worst case, at least your garlic supplement has garlic in it.
Whole Foods sells a lot of homeopathic garbage, though.
