Patch Up pitch, nothing innovative and the hypocrisy of Anupam at its peak.
With each episode this season, my respect for Anupam is decreasing. Everything he says in one pitch, he contradicts in another. In many supplement herbal pitches he has said its commoditized market and here he was head over heels to invest in her pitch.
There is nothing new about vitamin and supplement patches. Patchaid, PatchMD, Nutripatch, Barriere etc are available all over the world.
Why transdermal patches have never taken over oral supplements because you get higher doses by oral route. Take her products for example, her Lean Up patches have 20mg Apple Cider Vinegar which is a joke because you need at least 750-1000 mg of ACV to cause weight losing effects. Her Vitamin D patches don’t even show the dose. A vitamin D deficient person needs 50000IU (1,250 micrograms) weekly of D to overcome the deficiency.
Supplements is a market which is filled with giants with years or research. As for her quality issue banter for oral supplements, the leading companies post lab results on their sites. Amazon and iherb sell tons of supplements from patches to powders to gummies to capsules.
In other Shark Tank versions, her claims would have been shredded but in STI 3 Sharks were jumping on the ship like it’s next big thing. What a shame.
