They can exist and be a marketing buzzword at the same time.

Example: vitamins. If you don’t have vitamins, you die. But vitamin supplements have not been shown to do anything for most people. And yet, people still buy vitamin supplements.

Vitamins are real and have real defined health benefits. But the vitamin industry is at best a waste of money and at worst can active cause health issues if taken incorrectly.
