I'm just aghast at the price of Body Bloom. That guy on YouTube who breaks down the validity of its health claims said:
“At $67/month for the recommended daily portion, that’s over $800 per year on a health product with no scientific evidence to support its use.”
I just finished listening to the episode of The Dream podcast about MLM scams and wellness quacks where they talk about all the powders/elixirs people are hawking. Best case scenario is that people are spending billions of dollars a year on substances that don’t even do anything (ie Body Bloom). So we’re just wasting our money. There is a law in North America called DSHEA which talks about "structure/function claims” - the claims that can be made on supplement bottles.
You can’t legally say that a supplement prevents or improves something, but you can say it
plays a part or promotes it. Positive attributes are crucial in marketing and selling the product. ie instead of saying “prevents constipation” you could legally get away with saying “promotes regularity."
Body Bloom product description, using all the permissable verbs:
- Promotes glowing, healthy, smooth skin
- Plays a part in restoring a happy healthy gut
- Collagen support for healthy skin, hair & nails
- Promotes a comfortable digestive system
- Plays an essential role for collagen & keratin production
= doesn't do anything
