It is usually referred to as “the placebo effect”. Most generally it refers to medical experiments where they gave patients fake medicine, a little pill with no medicine in it, and the patients got better anyway. Anytime someone thinks a treatment will work, if it works without any real cause people refer to that as the placebo effect.

It happens when a patient is given fake medicine (that they think is real).
The patient says they feel better, even though they did not receive real medicine.

I found this in online shop. It approx cost 450 dollars per bottle. It can help you stay young. Does it call placebo effect or something better? Thanks

Let us say that it is fake medicine, OK? Then if you buy it and think it works and are happy with the results then for you it was a placebo. For a person who did not buy it and knows it does not really work then it would be called a fake, phony, fraud or scam, for them it would not be a placebo. For them, if the person who bought it says that it really works, then they would say the only reason you think it works is because of the placebo effect.

@zippetydude I don’t know this product. I just curious who will buy it. There are thousands of health care pills in online shops. Chinese people always say the higher price the better quality. Especially for rich people, they're more believe that, and they have a bias and believe imported goods from America is better than domestic products.
