It’s not just anecdotal, it’s bad reasoning. You can’t prove that your supplement prevented you from getting sick. Maybe you were immune to whatever was going around. Maybe you didn’t touch your face at the right times. Maybe you washed your hands really well. There are thousands of possible explanations, and it’s misleading and wrong to attribute it to some random supplement.
Please stop doing that. It’s the same reasoning people use when they say that they prayed and God answered. Just because B happens after A doesn’t mean that A caused B; it just means B happened after A.
