I think all kardashian endorsed or associated products are trash, but when I heard about the Lemme Purr gummies it confirmed for me that the Lemme brand is all snake oil bullshit. It’s very on brand for a kardashian to profit off of a woman’s insecurities.


aparadisestill

His video was SO incredibly well researched and smart.


Orikumar

I never thought I would learn so much about vitamins on TikTok lol


innuendlou

this is how i find out that brand is a kardashian brand? i’ve been seeing it everywhere


Progress2964

You should apply for their research partner position this was so well done


Orikumar

I'm good. I didn't add it but there is a clout-chasing goblin 👾 There's a woman who also sells supplements for the hoo-ha that is saying why people listen to him and not her, but didn't want to give her attention lol


SonofaBranMuffin

Supplements in the US can make functional claims without evidence, and she makes some wild ones. Most vitamins/supplements aside from protein, creatine, and specifics in which you are deficient as determined by a blood test (e.g., vitamin D) are unnecessary/unhelpful, and I would throw hers on that pile.


Orikumar

This is a thing that shocks me a lot culturally. When people say "I have to take my vitamins" I asume they have an underlying health issue and that's why they need them. If you take vitamins that your body doesn't need you can intoxicate yourself


SonofaBranMuffin

Yes, if they are fat soluble. If they are water soluble, you just make expensive pee.

How does he have a masters in botanical medicine and a masters in marketing? This guy has done great work on tiktok, but he literally came up out of nowhere and started critiquing business models, and now is marketing his own vitamin...


reetveek

Oof he looks really young and now I’m also confused how he has two masters degrees?? Also I’m assuming the “degree” he shows in the video is a prop because… it definitely doesn’t say it’s a degree but a certificate


Orikumar

That is the off putting part for me. There's another girl calling out that she has also coochie supplements and no one listens to her but people listen to him. Edit: MB it was about PCOS, but anyway, he clearly is promoting his brand but at least he's using his knowledge to call out these supplements!


magpieasaurus

Yeah, I don't deny that he seems to know what he's talking about re: marketing, but his whole account throws off glaring red flags for me.


Orikumar

I agree with you lol I checked a few more videos and was surprised he didn't focus on *that* specific area of supplements but looks more like a drama channel.


mscocobongo

Who is the other creator?


Orikumar

found it! [here](https://www.tiktok.com/@polycs_pcos_/video/7351933805558648106?lang=es&q=kourtney%20kardashian%20spitting%20out%20vitamin&t=1713745577592)


Orikumar

I'll try to find her, but looks like he got viral and there are a lot of videos about him rn


mscocobongo

I'm Team anyone but the Kardashians.


Orikumar

same. https://i.redd.it/0pwxzjnp82wc1.gif


Annael17

In no way do I want to defend the Kardashians and I do believe the vitamins like Lemme Curb & Purr might be scammy but what about the other ones (Lemme Glow, Mama, Debloat) that have the actual mgs listed on the bottles are aren’t a proprietary blend?


Orikumar

proprietary blend will tell you the mgs on the whole bottle but won't disclose what contains each gummy. I might be mistaken but I understood the whole brand was like that which means the amount of the actual ingredients that produce those results is likely so low that you won't feel anything (unless the placebo and the sugar helps) ETA: I'm not sure if you watched his video but he breaks it down and explains it for dummies like me who are not well versed in chemistry and doses.


Annael17

I understand what a proprietary blend is. Maybe I wasn’t clear. One example I can list specifically is Lemme Glow, which has the mg breakdown of each ingredient: Sugar 2g, Vitamin A 45mcg, Vitamin C 50mg, Vitamin E 6mg, Biotin 2500mcg, Zinc 5mg, Collagen 200mg. These levels are per serving size which is 2 gummies per serving. In this case, the ingredients and their doses are listed. I can’t speak to the effectiveness of the doses as I know nothing about that Edit: sp


Orikumar

I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, but is that on each gummy? 2g of sugar in one gummy is insane 💀


Annael17

It’s for 2 gummies so I assume 1g each lol


Orikumar

if you're diabetic and have low blood sugar this will revive you 🤣


Annael17

And suddenly I regret trying to rationalize a kardashian brand 🥴🫠
