A UK company apparently hellbent on proving that wellness scammers exist outside Gwyneth Paltrow’s purview had to pull a £250 “fertility drip,” after doctors pointed out that the drip did not, in fact, help with fertility.
a jade egg up your vagina won’t balance your hormones, a handful of vitamins will not necessarily help someone struggling with real fertility issues get pregnant. And so, the £250 drip—which, again, had no real effect on a person’s fertility, not that a desperate layperson would necessarily know that—was a big problem.Katherine O’Brien, associate director of communications and campaigns at BPAS, said the fertility drip offered an unproven “quick fix at an extortionate cost”.
“There is no evidence that an IV drip of any combination of vitamins can improve a woman’s fertility,” she said. “In promising hope to women at a very desperate time, we are concerned that, aside from providing no real benefit, these drips may be causing real damage to women’s emotional wellbeing.”Get a Drip agreed to pull the drip, apologizing for its “insensitivity” and reiterating that its IV products are merely health supplements and not actual cures.
