So it’s no surprise that an MLM company would hop on the bandwagon to compare a weight loss product to the most talked about drug of the past few years, Ozempic. I’ve seen claims from LifeVantage and FAKE MAKE Wellness suggesting their products are “nature’s Ozempic.”

If you need a refresher on FAKE MAKE, please go back and read these articles:
