Can I deduct personal use of health and wellness products from the commissions received for selling said products?

[smurfball1]

I have a home based company where I market health and wellness products. In order to market my products effectively I also use all of the products for my personal use. I don't feel like I can sell the products, without actually taking them myself. Will these count as a business deduction or not since they are used by me personally?

Yes, the cost of purchasing products for the purpose of marketing the products would generally be an ordinary and necessary business expense.
