Apparently, the UK’s version of our Federal Trade Commission is using artificial intelligence to monitor supplement advertising claims. The AI system picked up ads for supplements made by Rejuvit Labs and FemTech Healthcare.

included a customer testimonial that stated, “round 2-8 weeks after my first capsule, I already had extra room in my pants (everyone was asking how I lost weight), I felt more energized, and the hot flashes [sic] were gone […] I just keep feeling better, healthier, and happier.”
The ASA stated: “We considered that consumers would understand these to be claims that the product could treat symptoms of menopause, including resolving menopause-related weight gain, increasing energy levels and stopping hot flashes.”
The ASA takes a dim view of non-medical “cures” for menopausal symptoms and is going after them.
With AI algorithms!
It’s a brave new world out there.
