Another variation on the theme of Yakov’s Golden Elixir.

Links don’t make things unapproved, it’s a weird glitch in the system which marks random posts as spam. Message a Moderator so they’ll go look for it and approve it
OP, the thing about most FB “nutrtion pages” is that they are very commonly multi level marketing schemes, and full of complete lies.
I don’t know about “very commonly”, as many of them are regular companies selling whatever smoothie or new book or meal plan subscription. I always take them with a grain of salt, and assume what they say is either only partial truth, or none, until I can verify otherwise (if I’m even interested :lol:)
The multi level marketing scheme itself is fraudulent because nobody actually sells much of whatever their overpriced supplement or cosmetic is. Rather, the ultimate goal is to get the customers to become distributors and buy the pricey starter kit and then hook more distrbutors “down line” all of who accrue profits up the chain.
You’re describing an (illegal) pyramid scheme. The MLM business model is very legal. That doesn’t mean all MLM companies operate well within the legal lines, and for sure, there are those, such as this one ,which make medical claims that make it illegal.
She’s in the US, I “know” her. Look up Britrad.
I don’t think the OP has any idea about anything related to this product. This product is pushed all over kingdom come in any number of FB groups. Its distributors list it as the solution to everything anyone has a problem with - melanomas, arthritis, allergies, OCD, ringbone, laminitis, navicular, sarcoids, you name it - if it can happen to a horse, this is apparently the unicorn glitter. And funny thing is that not a single one of them who do that can provide any link to any credible, validated, peer-reviewed, repeated study to back up their claims. When provided with links that disprove their claims, they say “well you just don’t know how to search right”.

I asked for copies of the research they claimed they had…and got a Word doc with a bunch of testimonials. Yeah…not the same thing.
Yeah - I’ve gotten a poster with some words on it. I’ve been told “there are a bunch of broodmares in KY on this stuff and all kinds of jockeys and trainers using it”. As if somehow that makes it credible and legit and proven?
Ugh, I went head to head with someone schilling this product as the next miracle cure-all. It’s marketed to humans as Protandim. The people selling the product will tell you that there are clinical studies involving the product and that it proves the efficacy. There are studies, but none are particularly convincing. You can read a little information about that here https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/protandim-update-new-studies-and-an-fda-warning-letter/
It’s a mlm that is currently involved in a class action lawsuit alleging an illegal pyramid scheme.
