Naa, it was dodgy, with a good advertising budget and proper brainwashing like many many snake oil products. There were no verifiable 3rd party studies done, something that wasn't hot on peoples minds back then. Finally taken off the market.
Aids gave ayds a momentary boost then the general public nastiness came in and cemented the negative branding. But aids didn't kill ayds, false product promises and newer drug rulings killed ayds.
I think the early 70's is when the questionable product industry lobbied for fda rulings to allow companies to promise most anything as long as they say their product doesn't cure stuff.
