Purity Products

Their products

A quick search [1] shows that the bulk of their products are pseudovitamins that give in to the latest fad diet and nutrition crazes, such as selling products loaded with vitamin D and resveratrol. Like the makers of HeadOn, their products are promoted heavily on radio and television, although (unlike HeadOn) usually through infomercials.[2] Purity Products also likes to brand their products as "evidence-based," even though they have released no studies or data to back such claims. Their Advisory Panel seems about as full of crankery as you can get.[3]

Customer satisfaction

Apparently, they do not have a good track record with their customers either,[4] [5] and not just because their products are loaded with more woo than help. They even have to have a web page dedicated to responding to accusations that they're scam artists.[6]

gollark: Though TiddlyWiki and arguably Roam have already done pretty much that and done it better than I'm likely to.
gollark: One of my eternally unfinished side projects is a wiki-style note taking thing which could be neat.
gollark: Yes, I'm aware it's better business-wise, and I don't want to support that.
gollark: They could at least support bridging to XMPP or something natively.
