I don't know that I would go so far as to state "snake oil", but in my uneducated opinion such products are just as much a waste of money as "enzyme treatments" for a septic tank.
Since my home sewer system IS a septic tank, I have done a lot of research on the care and feeding of such systems. The consensus of opinion seems to be that everything a septic tank needs is contained in the waste from a human body. NOTHING needs to be added. The same authorities also state that such enzymes take at least a week to do any good, so putting such products in an RV holding tank is an exercise in futility.
My personal experience agrees.
I have had the same experience with both systems.
The Jalapeno peppers I consume may assist the process.
