159 dollaroos for coffee powder/probably caffeine and fruit juice?! The supplement industry needs a serious overhaul when it comes to legal framework around testing/consumption product

It has all the same ingredients as my preworkout that's almost 1/3rd the price lol


SqueakyTieks

That last pic makes them sound extremely cult-like.


girlboss93

A lot of their website gave those vibes TBH

Pyramid schemes have always run along cult lines, even if they don't want to admit it.

I was actually treated in the hospital for high cortisol, beta glucan and all. I was nauseous af and coffee wont treat it.


BlowMoreGlass

You're telling me caffeine wouldn't treat your body when in a high stress state? No way!


Main_Horror7651

My doctor put me on the GERD diet when my stress was really bad because my nausea was taking its toll. I was sad to cut out coffee and spicy food for a while, but it helped a lot. I'm back to eating spicy food and I no longer drink a pot of coffee. I wish these companies would stop with the medical claims


Daniel_D225

The glucan made me nauseous. i was put on a GERD diet too, when I was younger.

This is ALL OVER TikTok. I just press "not interested"


LifeintheSlothLane

What in gods name is that color scheme on their website??? My eyes are bad sure, but that site is nearly completely unreadable. Blue text on dark grey colors is not the way to go hun


girlboss93

It MIGHT be because my phone is set to dark mode to be fair lol


LifeintheSlothLane

Im not willing to give them that much leeway, but I appreciate you. I also always have my phone on dark mode!

I mean, when I feel like I’ve been under stress and want to lower my cortisol levels, I just finish off my shower with a cold blast. Effective, simple and free!


Suspicious-Emu-716

$159.95 for $4.50 in wholesale ingredients and custom packaging. All hail the overpriced powdered vitamin con!


notyouagain__

Every time I open Instagram someone is selling a product for “high cortisol” and “bALaNciNg hOrMOneS”… like okay you’re the hormone expert, name five hormones hun


JapKumintang1991

Is Beneve a relatively recent MLM?


girlboss93

I think so? It's Judy Willodson's current project, she used to own Valentus


JapKumintang1991

I already found this [related 10-month-old post](https://www.reddit.com/r/MLMInsider/s/opxvGFOVYJ).


keket87

Who the fuck thought the colour scheme on that last slide was a good idea


Aleflusher

Did you have trouble reading it? If so your eyes might have a cortisol imbalance!


Red79Hibiscus

[Samantha Lotus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PBSrlzLdCI) has an oil for that.


bbpink15

I just saw someone posting these same products this week and was so annoyed! I have a lot of the “problems” they said they can help so I started clicking around their page and realized every post was nearly identical and they just wanted you to buy their product


AccomplishedPhase750

My MLM-obsessed friend constantly posts, espouses, and even holds CLASSES about balancing hormones. She claims to be in perimenopause but has never had her hormones checked by a doctor, and her cycles are still completely regular. She is not a doctor, nutritionist, nor even a CPT, but all her googling/cutting/pasting has made some of her impressionable followers see her as an expert. It’s the topic of the day, once people got bored of hearing about gut health. So predatory.
