Of course these things pop up in our feeds as we are researching. This is another. If this is still an active thread? The stories always sound so good. But, too good to be true! If one pill fixed all,…. But I do wonder if something can be drawn from some of this, as some modern medicine hasn’t fixed the bone loss issues either????

I have no clue on this one either. Anyone see anything like this?

@patwerthman Pat - This is another "miracle cure" where the add "studies" to try to show credibility.
Let me give you a hint - they took 3 studies, of three different supplements, and decided "if one is good, three is better" and put the ingredients together and called it a breakthrough, without any apparent testing.
At least they didn't claim Mayo endorsed it.

Yes indeed. A friend of mine is a fan of the NAD shots.
She had sent me this.
“ NAD+ shots, or NAD+ injections, are treatments that deliver nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide directly into the bloodstream to boost energy, enhance mental clarity, and support overall cellular health. They are often used for anti-aging benefits and to improve recovery and metabolic functions.”
However, she isn’t a low bone density person.

The number of misspelled words in that ad is enough to raise a red flag for me.

This product is using a Mayo Clinic logo without permission. Mayo Clinic does not endorse this product or similar products. Have seen a lot of these using false advertising.

@msjunior, I moved your post to the discussion you started earlier about fraudulent use of Mayo Clinic's logo. I've also removed the image to stop the spread of products claiming to be endorsed by large trusted organizations like Mayo Clinic, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons AAOS, etc.

Advertisers try to mis-use the Mayo abrand to give credibility to their product. Mayo Clinic does not support or endorse any commercial products or companies and never has.

@msjunior, thank you for bringing this fraudulent use of Mayo Clinic's name and reputation to our attention. I have sent the information to our Business Relations and Legal departments for review and to have the ads taken down. I also removed the images from your post to stop the spread of misinformation.

This is a good warning to all of us. Always fact check information and advertisments.

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Here is a good article written by Mayo Clinic to help spot fake health information
- Can you spot a fake health article? https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/in-depth/spot-fake-health-articles-misinformation/art-20587692

In this case, the advertisers tried to mis-use Mayo and FDA to give credibility to their product. Mayo Clinic never advertises products like this.
