If you still want to take a hair/nail/skin supplement, Deva has some vegan ones (they even have a ceramide supplement). It's still bullshit, but at least it's cheap bullshit.
It's not bullshit. My nails used to be very thin and would break easily. After taking skin/hair/nails supplements, they are very thick and strong and never break anymore. My hair also grows much faster now.
Tati uses this herself and she is her own before and after and I trust Tati. She has been on a very long journey to personal health and she wants to help us too. I trust the team of dr's that assisted her. Tati never claimed to prevent or cure gray hair. Her product delays it.
Lara Pauley She uses hair extensions, very expensive skincare and make-up and I suspect her nails are also done professionally. And there was talk about botox. Tati looks good for her age, but that is hardly because of her pills.
It really bothers me how Tati keeps using the word "proven" on her website. I have a degree in biology and my professors always would emphasize that nothing is ever proven, just supported. Studies support theories, they don't necessarily prove theories.
Devon Moeller As someone whose finishing their degree in mathematics. If there's not 5 pages using the words "analogously" at least 6 different symbols your average layman can't understand and q.e.d. I approach "proven" with equal amounts of skepticism.
yep, I too have a MSc, and I cringe at "proven". We don't prove anything. Evidence supports claims and theories. We come to a conclusion. We can call correlation, but be carefull to not equal it to causation. Coming from a scientific background, those statements always ring an alarm bell in my head...
@@MaysBreakdown literally NOT how statistics work?? where did you learn that? (plus, as an aside, many researchers are moving away from p-values. some journals even forbid the use of p-values as a meaningful statistic evaluation)
I have a degree in biochemistry. This is how you make an arguement when discussing scientific stuff, with research with documented and peer reviewed results. Just stating you work with scientists is not enough.
@@evieparrott In my opinion, it's just a very expensive supplement that won't do much for you. You're better off spending that money on skincare, nail stuff and hair care
@@tangent5 yeah she could but the competition is to big, and she doesn't have the seller aura, this days that young people and gen z who buy everything in 10 minutes, she did pills because there no competition
@@jean-danieldjolituke1923 But she ended up releasing makeup and it went so well for her lol. If you have millions of somewhat active subscribers, it'll be successful no matter what product you release. (sadly)
As a vegan, beauty lover, and registered dietitian this is the best and most well researched video I have seen since her brand announcement. Thanks so much for actually doing research! Great video
*Customer* : Will this supplement affect Birth Control? *Tati* : Our 160mg dose is very low when compared to the 2,000 mg men take for enlarged prostates.
That statement is a complete lie. The amount men took in studies for BPH was 320mg. So just twice the amount she has in Halo. Me and others have mentioned it a couple of times, but it's still up on her site like that. Pf. So much BS
It's so true, too. When I'm eating a healthy diet and exercising my skin glows like never before, balances out and becomes smoother and turns over better. Drink lots of water too.
I’m so confused as to how Tati thought this would be well received. Either she knows it’s bullshit, and is trying to scam people, or she genuinely believes in her bullshit and is not as smart as people tend to give her credit for.
I think somebody scammed her. The "research team behind her company" could be a bunch of idiots who believe cancer can be cured with baking soda or something like that. And since she advertises it as "natural" I think she is convinced from other people that natural is better etc. I dont know but i think thats what might have happened.
Her site says it refuses to accept any liability whether or not you consult a medical professional. What Tati doesn't understand is that she is selling outside the U.S. so in my country at least, she is liable. She is responsible if her product is found to have caused damage. You don't have to prove your claims to our Therapeutic Goods Administration for supplements but you do have to have the studies of proof on hand if they ask for them. If she sells that stuff here and it goes wrong, she is screwed.
She’s ridiculous, despite the disclaimers “refusing to accept liability” doesn’t preclude her from being sued. She’s made some very strong, irresponsible claims. 🤷🏽♀️
Sugar Plum No, I wouldn't. I'd be too lazy to sue anyone unless it was really serious. I'd never buy that sort of stuff. I was just saying she should be careful. There are several countries where she would get in trouble if things go wrong. In that case the individual doesn't have to sue, their government would prosecute for breaking their laws. They've got deep pockets and lots of time. I'm not sure she's aware of that.
Hey! Thanks for making this video. As a doctor, this whole thing got me pretty frustrated. Also, I just wanted to add that her claim of men taking 2000mg of saw palmetto is a straight up lie, the studies made on it had men taking 320mg (which is just double the amount in her supplement). Anyway, thanks for making such a detailed video on it :) Oh, and to that study about astaxanthin that you couldn't see the whole thing: they assessed oxidative stress in the plasma samples using thiobarbituric acid reactive substances assay kit and colorimetry and the samples were also H&E stained and assessed by a cytopathologist. It wasn't assessed by a dermatologist or the subjects themselves. And to end on a quote that one of my professors said: "If you think everything natural is good for you... snake venom is very natural as well but it can most definitely kill you" :P xoxo :)
Julio Alberto Gómez then don’t say it was over vitamins when it really wasn’t. It’s kinda gross to bring in serious drama about a predator into the comment section.
sea puppers it’s a bit of a stretch to call him a predator. Has he been accused of a crime or arrested? You can’t just accuse someone of being a near rapist based off some shit ppl say on youtube.
Such a good review. She got all pissed off saying that no one had legit sources for the saw palmetto stuff, but like medical schools and physicians seem like pretty good people to listen to.
you could have a section called 'I'm not a...' where you're not a dietitian or pediatrician or dermatologist, you're just someone who's capable of reading scientific studies and differentiating the credible evidence from nonsense.
I've seen a couple videos critiquing Halo Beauty and they were meh and just seemed bandwagon hate videos but man. Your research... A+. Super super impressive.
Danielle LaBarbera Oh yeah, and "I would never do anything that would hurt you" and then there's a report from a youtuber who bled for 3 weeks as a result of taking Halo Beauty.
Miranda Stephens Look up “Halo Beauty & My Period” on RU-vid. I can’t swear it’s the same review I saw back then, but it says the same things so it may be.
Nowadays it seems like people eat the stuff you are supposed to apply on the skin and apply stuff on the skin which is supposed to be eaten. If a person applies an avacado on their head all i could say is eat that avacado and apply a conditioner instead of taking suppliments.
+Rumpelstiltskin lol i dont think its wrong or bad to do something as long as you know how and if it works. Avacado is not really bad for your hair xD but its probably more effecrive to eat it.
You're right about people eating things they should apply but realistically applying things you could eat actually works. I mean there's a reasom that conditioner has avocado oil in it.
Sugar Plum So true.... and I do both..eat and apply topically...avocados make a great face mask mixed with honey and ever since I can remember I've rinsed my hair in either lemon or vinegar solution ....a friend of mine uses cold coffee, she says it makes her hair strong and enhances the colour? I'm not sure if it does as I've not tried it but her hair always looks healthy and conditioned!
I don't want to undermine the awesome video you've put together, with that extensive research and work, buuut... I really need to know what lipstick color you are using. It's remarkably pretty!
It's the "day" side from elf's day night lipstick duo in "I love pinks". They sent it for free when I ordered some other stuff. It's got that awful sweet smell/taste that so many of their lip products have, but I agree, the color is beautiful!
I'm disappointed that she was encouraging people to post photos of their results the same week of her launch. And, of course, some were claiming that they could see rapid changes within a few days of taking the supplements..
Also just looking at a good majority of the before and afters, it’s obvious there’s manipulation in lighting, makeup, and filters. It’s annoyingly not credible, even for a testimonial
she refuses to disclose what makes the pills pink so i have a strong feeling it's not actually vegan and she's just claiming that to get the widest variety of customers.
Okto You'd think but only mentions on label that it is a vegetable capsule. (Also includes magnesium sterate in capsule which is a filler and I personally avoid. Just look up the side effects of it for yourself. It is possible to buy from reputable brands that do not use fillers)Does disclose where the pink comes from. On the Halo site only mentions that it's 'carmine free' but that still doesn't answer the question. I've tried emailing twice and never got a response. Tati ignores or blocks those who ask. I did read someone got a response back from Halo just saying it was a 'proprietary blend' that makes up the 'pink', very vague and shady. I'd never buy from a company that couldn't disclose 100% ingredients of any product.
+N Joy interesting. Puzzling too. Pink dye doesn't seem like anything too special to me. Many ways to dye things pink, why is their's so secret? It also raises an issue - people only realised there's a mystery ingredient because of the pink colour, so are there other unlisted things in there too? I don't know for sure, but this opens up that possibility too.
N Joy I don't know but if the capsules are vegetarian (not gelatin) the other alternative is cellulose ( HPMC) and this still allows for colouring the capsule if required... hope this link works...books.google.co.uk/books?hl=en&lr=&id=cIPhBwAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA53&dq=related:LAtBTf9F9IpniM:scholar.google.com/&ots=6dWNpOtTGe&sig=Pb1xI-HVYp0nf3nmoUB8A9LOqaw#v=onepage&q&f=false
I had to unsubscribe from Tati after the launch, I just couldn’t watch her trying to sell her supplement. Even though she only mentioned it at the end of the video, it just left me with a bad taste in my mouth. The 52 minute video was like a scolding for daring to question her and Halo Beauty. I checked out the website for Halo, but $40 is just too much for it, and I just wasn’t comfortable enough to purchase. And I didn’t want to unsubscribe from her, but I had to. I just couldn’t watch her shilling for a bogus product. Anyway, nice job on this, I appreciate the effort and the information.
I’m sorry but HOLY SHIT, as a doctor, the knowledge that troponin assays could be falsely negative because of biotin is a HUGE risk. We generally diagnose heart attacks by three things; EKG findings, character of the chest pain, and elevated heart enzymes (troponin (most used) and CK). There are 2 types of heart attacks: STEMIs (that have ST elevation on an EKG), and NSTEMIs (that don’t have the elevation). The NSTEMI findings can be subtle, which is why we usually hold patients to repeat their troponin even if it was only a tiny bit elevated the first time, for more clinical security that aren’t having a heart attack. In addition, women (who are mostly likely going to be taking these kinds of supplements), don’t present with classic “chest heaviness, arm and neck pain” for heart attacks. It’s a lot more nebulous, so the trop can be very important. If the trop is unreliable in those women (that basically never tell us they are taking vitamins because why would they?) then that’s a real risk that they could be falsely diagnosed as not having a heart attack.
i ask my doctor if I can buy this vitamin and she said yes because its not a special vitamin . I told more about it and told her it is made by a youtuber and she said " I know it is not my money but why would you buy vitamins from a woman who plays with makeup?" lol my doctor is savage and made me look dumb. I didn't buy it lol.
My multivitamin has almost all of the shit in Halo and it’s $40 a bottle (120 capsules) so that works out to $10 a month. IMO this multivitamin she’s putting out is crap. You’re paying for the packaging and her name.
Most of these "special" supplements are basically just shiny multivitamins... just take a balanced multivitamin and you're good. Anything you'd take extra the body would just dispose of...
Helvetica09 I've always wondered about this and suppose I should research it but the way vitamins list that they have a million times the recommended amount you need in a day is strange to me. According to my blood work I'm only deficient in vitamin d, so I take a d and calcium supplement, but I also take a prenatal vitamin because they say it's a good idea just in case basically. Since I started taking all these vitamins my pee has been really dark and smells like vitamins.....sorry that's gross....but I feel like my body probably doesn't even use most of what's in them because it's pretty clear that they're coming right back out:(
jack g Sadly it seems to be working when there are people claiming to see great change after just a few days. 🙄 I swear some are so gullible it’s scary.
"I know it's kind of pot calling the kettle 'black' but... *I'm* not trying to sell you something. ... Well I *AM* trying to get you to go vegan, but I'm not asking you for money. ... Well I *DO* have a Patreon... *BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME, DAMNIT.* " That part just killed me. xD
This popped up in my recommended after the James Charles drama. Yes James may have exhibited some narcissism and nasty traits, but he is 19. I feel some type of way with Jeffree Star, a man in his 30s with his own baggage, and Tati who is near 40 exposing him as if he is Satan himself.
To be fair, if he isn't called out, he can't improve, and Tati at least said she tried to talk to him privately about it on multiple occasions. Sometimes you need a shock to your system to realize you need to start acting right.
She said she loved him like a son, mothers don't drag their sons online and destroy their careers. If she cared for him she would take him to a therapist or something. Plus Jeffree star had his scandals, he made inappropriate comments about straight guys and Justin Bieber when Justin was only 16yo (Jeffree was 24yo at that time ) now he's taking Tati's side.
This is kind of like the Sugar Bear pills, it is just expensive vitamins whom you can find so much cheaper if you only took some time searching. But people are often to lazy and only listen to the people who sell it and the people who are paid to talk about them.
The sad fact is Tati probably never did any research for herself, and she's only most likely repeating what her "group of doctors and scientists" are instructing her to say
I've watched Tati for a while, and although I feel like she's a kind and well-meaning person, she's incredibly ill-informed in regards to supplements. Excellent video as always Swayze :) Also yassss bitch that divine palette tho.
Nathan Howard She’s incredibly ill-informed, unqualified on top on being extremely defensive, even flippant towards evidence based negative feedback. I’m so disappointed
I feel like she's generally not very knowledgable when it comes to the more scientific side of cosmetics/skincare and it doesn't look like she's willing to educate herself💁🏻
girl lionness yess I thought the same thing!! She sounds very air heady and like a typical RU-vid makeup diva with no actual knowledge of what she’s putting on her face.
It's speculated that the product isn't cruelty free like it claims either. Ceramide PCD or what Tati is selling as Ceramide Rx was tested on animals by her supplier (Tru Body Wellness).
Ayda Moftah unfortunately most ingredients have at some point been tested on animals, it is generally required for them to be classed as 'safe'. Supplier companies will either generally test all their ingredients, or piggyback off the findings of another company that will most likely have tested on animals. Unfortunately the 'cruelty free' title can be a but vague. Some companies will have tested none of their ingredients/products on animals, whilst others just let others do the tests for them.
But this is apparently currently being tested on animals, not some ingredient that was tested 30yrs ago, but no longer tests on animals. Maybe I'm wrong, but that was my impression.
Our stomachs are very good at a specific task - breaking stuff down. So, even when a molecule has been found to do something, there's good reason to question if it will survive digestion. One material our digestion breaks apart pretty efficiently is protein, including enzymes like catalase. Eating catalase and expecting it to survive digestion and somehow find its way from your gut to your scalp is a bit simplistic and needs some research to support the claim. I'm not saying it doesn't, I don't know, but I'm not going to assume it will just because. Vitamins are useful - but if you're consuming enough, you should already be fine. So, supplements claiming all kinds of benefits that rely entirely or largely on vitamins cannot truthfully promise everyone will benefit or that they're some very special formula, they're just vitamins. Good for people who don't eat enough, needless for those who do.
Really, the most effective things we can do to improve our hair/skin/nails are the things we always hear, eat healthy, drink water, sun protection, etc. - those are the main things we can do. An oral supplement only helps if it contains something your body is lacking, but you can get most of those nutrients from just eating good food too.
Yami According to Jen Luvs Reviews the pink dye ingredients are a "secret" because of the company who made them doesn't have to reveal them. Watch her video. She explains it better (and not at 2 am).
Krystal Paul I watched that and left a comment as I found it most odd that a company would not want to reveal ingredients and asked my Dr and pharmacist and they both said that it was irregular for a company not to list ingredients on an ingestible capsule for an array of reasons, vegan, allergies, animal testing etc..and if the colour was only from natural compounds companies usually are very vocal on how "natural" it is, they don't hide it!
Also on Saw Palmetto, you have to be careful if you have PCOS. It's good for some things, but can really jack up your system and cause worse symptoms of your PCOS. Not worth it if you ask me, a sufferer.👍🏻
Hi. I wanted to add something about biotin. The presence of high doses of biotin (more than 5mg/day) can interfere with thyroid measurements. TSH can be measured as falsely low and t4, ft4 and t3 can present as falsely high. So, biotin supplements can mask hypothyroidism and if you are about to get your thyroid levels checked, you need to stop taking the supplement at least 8 hours prior blood sample collection
Bianca Manelli in school, you should be able to access any study through the school portal. When I was in college, I could even access it from home (through the school portal), I just had to login with my school info. Colleges/universities pay for access for journals. I had to access so much for classes and for my thesis.
Yeah, that's true, I have access to most journals but not every single one, sadly. And I could definitely use more sources, as I am in the middle of dissertation efforts haha
@Dalai Mami, I'm at one of the largest research schools in the country and we don't have access to everything from Elsevier. We have access to 700 of their journals, but they publish 1700+. Often if you're researching a certain topic or discipline that doesn't have a lot of financial/institutional support, you're out of luck.
Brave Kate yes!! I used to watch her videos everyday, but the first time I caught wind that she was friends with JS I immediately unsubscribed. I actually met her in person for her first meet and greet ever, and she was so quiet and awkward that it immediately put me off. She did not say anything to me and I did not get a good impression of her at all. That was when she had the whole "your life isn't together if you don't do your nails" drama going on. I just slowly starting realizing how out of touch she was, and I think some people are also slowly starting to realize that too. It's a shame she's so good at reviewing, but I just can't with her
WTF? Did you unsubscribe from someone just because they collab with someone else? That's literally the dumbest reason to unsubscribe from someone. You could just simply not watch that video... And just because she made a video or two with him, doesn't mean she's like him, she's a bad person or whatever.
People who don't like JS HATE JS. They think he's racist and a terrible person, so they assume anyone friends with him must also be racist and a terrible person.
Sebz Dev I don't support people who make derogatory comments towards black women and Mexicans. I don't want to see anything supporting JS on my feed, so what's hard to understand?
When I heard Tati was working with a team of scientists, I got happy. Then, when seeing the ingredients, I got a bit sceptical, especially when there were either no studies actually saying that some of the ingredients worked. Like other people here, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, and it kind feels like she got scammed... I don't know whether she is one of those people that just isn't capable of doing good research online by herself, or that she trusted people with a degree to be knowledgeable, or whether something about the way the whole team worked together is not working, or that the scientists she used are "specialists in natural supplements"... something about the "science" part is very off...
Of course it has to - she has to make money in one way or another. It's totally normal that a job you do is supposed to bring in money. I'm just wondering how the science/research part of making the formula actually came to be. Tati doesn't want to tell what scientists she worked with. I can understand that those people might not want to become "famous", but at the same time, it makes it even harder to trust the research has been conducted well. However, who knows - Tati has been looking for fame since childhood (acting roles, reality TV), so who knows - she might be a fake person and just hiding it well. There have been discrepancies in her stories before, like: she said she was poor when she was younger, but also that she' been going to salons in Beverly Hills since she was 18 - what actually poor person can afford that?
I don't think you understand what "private label" means: it means that the EXACTLY same product is sold by someone else, which is not the case here. Private labelling means slapping one's own name on an already finished, existing product. However, there's other shady things going on, like: the ingredient that is being touted as "super expensive" is made by... her husband, James. Basically: HE chooses the price. HOWEVER, the EXACT same ingredient, which is called Ceramide-PCD can be purchased alone, in non-fancy capsules, and it's pretty cheap: the cheapest is about $4.5, yes for the amount that Tati has in ONE of her boxes. The ceramide can also be found plenty of other places, like iherb - it's not unique to Tati's supplements. The other ingredients Tati has in the capsules are much cheaper though, and probably adds to something like $10-12 of ingredients. This does not mean Tati is making $30 a box - she might have made plenty of decisions that cost her a lot, however, I don't see anything special about her vitamins
All I took away from her second video was woe is me! And being pissed at the people who questioned this supplement. I don't think she had much to do with this except the design packaging and the pink pills. I think she let people talk her into it and I think that that is worse than coming up with it on your own. It's going to tank and everybody is going to lose a lot of money. But don't be a beauty RU-vidr and try and sell me something to ingest! Who the hell buys supplements or medication from a beauty RU-vidr?!
Didn’t she say on Twitter that the pills removed her step son’s eczema? I don’t know if the tweet still there, but that’s quite a bold claim that theoretically could get her in trouble since it’s a medical claim.
i got very disappointed by tati. i thought she was legit lol. what were she thinking? she has always said supplements are BS and she does this? omgg edit: also like, when i went vegan my nails got soooo strong and my hair is way nicer. my nails used to be kinda average i guess b4 i went vegan. they would be softish and break when they got longer. but now omggg. so white and nice :D i dont rly take any supplements except vitamin D and b complex. in my opinion if you have a good diet and take b complex that could be enough? or atleast a better start than to just pay 40 usd for osmething that MIGHT work. :/
joeyofrivia hello,, i read you tske vitamin D capsules . I have a deficiency in vitamin D , so would supplements help , fyi , a lot of the foods rich in vitamin D , i either cant have or are not available here
ye supplements help :) i live in sweden and during winter time we usually dont get enough vitamin d. our government recommend taking supplements cuz otherwise we can get deficient quite easy. im inside a lot too so ye. but it works, i recently got a blood test done and everything looks good. have u been to the doctor? sometimes u get stronger supplements on reciept i think?
I would never pay that much money for vitamins and supplements. 3 months ago I started taking a daily vitamin and a hair, skin, and nail supplement and my nails have NEVER EVER grown this much, also they very rarely break any more, and most impressive to me is I've noticed that they barely have any ridges any more which is crazy to me bc I've had nail ridges my whole life. so yeah, save yourself the money and pick up some vitamins at Walmart for like 6 bucks.
I couldn't possibly like this video enough! I do really like Tati and her make up videos, but the entire supplement business is garbage and I was disappointed with her coming out with this product. As always, thank you for quality content and appreciate all the time you spend to do your research.
I don't know if wheat-derived ceramide would make the product unable to be labeled gluten free, but that could be why she chose to use the rice extract. I believe Tati is gluten free.
I am not sure if someone has mentioned this to you already as I am just getting caught up on your videos but Halo Beauty is not vegan/cruelty free. The ceramide she purchases is tested on mice. She will not address this and blocks/deletes any mention of it on any of her videos.
You are the reason I'm planning to go vegan. It will take me time but I promise to get there! (Current Veg that's had a lot of vegans telling me indirectly I'm immoral). I feel very safe on your channel!
I burst out laughing when she "revealed" this garbage, and then promptly unsubscribed when, in the next video, she talked about it for a good 2-3 min at the beginning of her next video, which was compleatly unrelated to these damn pills. I'll be damned if I'm going to be forced to watch commercials for something like that constantly. I don't mind ads when a company I have nothing against sponsor a content creator, but I'm not going to watch videos and be sold to by the youtuber I'm subscribed to when it's for things that have no backing in science. It feels so strange because I have literally never heard her talk about supplements EVER. This just feels like her needed something to sell outside of youtube and going the quick and easy route. She claims to have been "working of it for years" but I call bullshit on that. Nu-uh..
Honestly , i watched Tati religiously everyday for years, but after this whole Halo launch, I have stopped watching her. I think she lies through her teeth.
Andrea Aldrich , she didn't really. She just winged it. She didn't focus on what she knew. Just a way to make a quick buck and have it coming in every month.
Don’t feel bad she’s wealthy and will bounce back from this. I’m still flabbergasted as to why she didn’t just release what her fans really want and what her channel is all about - MAKEUP 💄 !!!!!!!
Isabel M IKR?! I was going to ask that question and I'm glad somebody else did! If somebody is going to start wearing makeup they're going to have to start Fielding questions such as what is that lipstick shade and Company because I love the color! I do love the color. :-)
I wish she would put the research she did, if the lab planned to publish that should have prior the launch of the product, but I find the tests massively important.
Alex Noa I know first Hand. I am a physicist, I know it takes lot of time. But according to her she did the research, and has the results, even a report of the trial can be published meanwhile the papers pass the accepting process in the journal.
Rafaella Chiarella I do not know their reasoning, but they may not want to release their work until it gets through the peer reviewed process. I don't know in physics (as I have zero experience in it) but when I was studying applied entomology I had never known anyone to publish their research outside of the peer review process. Many complained about the process, specifically that people should be paid to do a peer review.
Alex Noa I hope they are not lying. Indeed some journals don't allow you to release the report before they publish it. But I think it should be paired with the product release, it is possible to plan it so.
Looking at the before and after photos and testimonials now, I think the most likely reason those people are seeing results is that they were deficient in at least some of the vitamins in Halo
Given that the one ceramide study found a significant placebo effect, positive outcome for rosehip with a no placebo group isn't acceptable. These million dollar industries have the money to studey this properly smh
Yvonne Mariane - to be fair, these research studies are not all funded by the "industry".... and small studies, can lead to bigger, more comprehensive studies. They have to start somewhere. If a small research study shows intriguing results, that can lead to funding for bigger studies... which can lead the even bigger studies. My guess is the results in the small studies weren't blowing anyone away enough to fund further research.
Thank you so much for doing some unbiased and fact based research! I've never been a big fan of Tati's, but this was beyond the pale. Trying to sell people makeup or skin care is one thing, but trying to shill ingestable supplements? You better know your shit. And clearly she didn't.
The fact that this sort of video doesn’t take off in the way the “bye sister” one did just shows the ugly face of the beauty community. Tati can make a seemingly unproven and likely useless supplement and is seemingly doing well from it, whereas someone doing an AD on her competitor (simplified) will get a whole internet drama and lose a 5th of their audience. I’m not bothered with taking sides, just bothers me that someone can sell supplements with no evidence and no backlash like the whole James Charles drama...What is going on on YT....
Is it intentional that your hair and skin look so 👌🏼 on point in this vid, considering the commentary? Red is your color Lady! And this is my favorite hair length for you. Oh and I also totally agree with your research. 🙂
Yes great video👏👏👏 I still don't like how people can't know the 'proprietary pink blend'. Wtf type of synthetic garbage is making them pink?! She still won't address this. I'd never take these. Unnecessary, expensive garbage. I'm vegan and my nails almost grow too fast! It's quite easy to get all our nutrients from food 🌿
The Doctors just posted on their RU-vid channel specifically how excess biotin in hair and nails supplements can lead to skewed test results, which is also something you talked about in your video. I'm happy there are easy accessable videos like this, because while I don't think I would have purchased this product, I definitely would have reached for the biotin in my local pharmacy. Thank you for educating people with not only the research found, but also encouraging to others research when finding a new product, no matter how pretty the words and packaging are. Videos like this are very helpful, and I find comfort knowing I just need to continue my daily multivitamin and practice healthy habits (well planned diet, getting sleep, moderate exercise, etc).
I think your video was very informative and well thought out. The way in which Tati handled people's concerns with this supplement was very condescending. The whole fiasco has not been handled professionally, so I would never buy these supplements. Also, the way she is highlighting people's "results" from just a few days of taking the supplement make it look like a bad tv commercial - you know the ones that run at 3 am. I'm sure she'll still get rich from this endeavor and that is probably all she cares about, tbh.
I absolutely love your videos Swayze. Third year Ph.D. candidate here. I also want to emphasize, as Swayze did, that when we test specific products (e.g., rose hip powder), it is tested as an isolated product rather than as a compound with other products. So the claim from Phetcharat et al 2015, while it supports rose hip powder usage it cannot be extrapolated to a compound that contains other materials. Also, studies with such small sample sizes don't have enough power to make a strong conclusion, you would really need a meta-analysis with low risk of bias studies and large sample size to make any supportive claims.
This video is very well made. As a biochemist, I am very skeptical about a lot of beauty and health claims, especially if they can easily be debunked in 5 min on Google. I think the way you approached these supplements is unbiased and neutral, taking each ingredient step by step. I like how you edited this video as well, no overediting, innuendos, memes, or shouting. All in all, keep up the good work! Subscribing!
