Various promises

Improves immunity, reduced stress, more energy and beauty in drops, these are the results of serum therapy according to influencers and medical clinics promise with the treatment.

His symptoms were severe headaches and stomach pains.

Ads that attract deceptively

It has been offered indiscriminately in clinics and doctors say it is a health risk warning. In clinics and on the internet, several advertisements were found that claim to bring results, such as a hangover, fatty liver and even dengue fever.

In the inspection carried out by the Regional Council of Medicine in São Paulo, a guarantee of results was even found, which is prohibited, and even a clinic without the mandatory CRM registration and finally none of the clinics that were inspected presented the RQE (quality record of experts).
