First of all… 🙄 “Influencers” should not be shilling any sort of vitamin, pill, etc, unless they have a career in medicine. This is so wrong on so many levels, and should absolutely be regulated. That is all.

    Found a Healthline article written by a dietitian on this brand of vitamins. Firstly no vitamins are approved by the FDA. These vitamins require a month.y subscription ! Contain fewer vitamins and minerals than others on the market. Cost is $94.50 a month for two bottles each containing 30 pills. Dosage is 2 pills a day. Hmm do the math , going to run you $1134 a year people. Oh and it’s an American company. Ask me if I’m buying. ETA this just makes me very angry and glaringly proves that the influencer industry (because it surely is not a profession or ethical career) needs to be regulated.

      Woooow. Thanks for sharing that! Really just confirms how much of a scam it is.

      edit: and agreed, as a health care professional, this kind of lack of accountability makes me SO ANGRY. She will most likely have followers who purchase these, not knowing any better, because they “trust” her. 😤
