For the "fake strip" social media stuff... anyone with ANY marketing skill would have provided either a bunch of photos for "reps" to use - or mailed out fake strips and empty boxes pre-launch to the "reps." There are parchment type papers that are partially transparent (like Listerine strips) and could easily be cut and distributed for these pre-launch SM posts. I mean, c'mon. If you gonna cheat... at least cheat well. Oy.

[@donnalynn2]

Exactly. The photo with 2 girls showing their strips is awful. They are not only different sizes but different shapes.

[@danistuart6677]

She is not correct on any of it. She's showing partial information and went into this biased, My response to this video: First off, I don't know how this bashing comes from 8 hours of "research". You are clearly biased going into this and you must have a lot of time to waste. And I'm sure you know that there is a difference than a "pyramid scheme" than an MLM, right? You must have tried or know someone who has tried an MLM and were unsuccessful with it, or had a bad experience with a bad MLM. I agree that bad MLMs exist but you can't say they are all bad. But there's absolutely no reason to hate on all MLMs. There are some wonderful, legitimate MLMs out there. Pampered Chef for example, I own many, many Pampered chef products that I have had for over 25 years. They have a lifetime warranty and they have been selling great products for years. Same with Tupperware and many others. As far as Elomir, you are way off track. Elomir didn't launch until July 5th. They purposely waited until they had an exceptional product that they were very happy with that provides great results. The Brand Partners placed their orders on July 5th and we received them within a timely manner. The reason for the first phase or the "soft launch" to only brand partners was to prepare for the customer base by ensuring that everything worked correctly (the website, the ordering, the packaging, the shipping). Nothing that any other business wouldn't do. All businesses do a "soft launch". They were also waiting for the arrival of their largest, most efficient machine that had to be carefully and engineered specifically for the production of the product to arrive at the manufacturing facility. Their estimated time to be open fully to the customer base was the middle to end of August. However, things were running smoothly enough to open up to the customers on August 12th. This strip is not a drug, definitely not acid (LOL)... it's not illegal (NAC is NOT illegal), it doesn't make you high. It has three main natural ingredients: NAC, Curcumin and Thiamine. Now, let me tell you what Axis Klarity has done for me... I have been taking Axis Klarity for 63 days now... the first day I noticed I was in a much better mood. Not only did I notice, so did my husband. Now, he's an attorney who specializes in Criminal Defense and Family Law. That's NOT an easy job and it drains him and makes him a little moody and some days it's hard to stay on task. He noticed on day one that he was able to FOCUS and get stuff done. In fact, his legal assistant had to ask him that afternoon why he hadn't had lunch yet. No back to me... three days into taking the strip, I was no longer clenching my jaw and teeth. I've been doing that uncontrollably for at least 15 years. To the point that I have four cracked molars and my dentist had me try valium - which didn't touch it. Valium scares me so I wasn't excited about that. Next, about three week after beginning the strip, I went to one of my regular massage appointments. At the end of the massage, my therapist always stretches my neck to the right and then to the left. We were both in awe with the ease and range of motion when she turned my head to the left. It kept going! I haven't been able to look over my left shoulder in at least 20 years! (I suffer from autoimmune issues that affect my joints, tendons and ligaments in addition to arthritis in my neck, back, shoulders and hands.) Now, this is is just MY testimonial. There are plenty more to be heard... a good friend of mine who is diabetic (and has the Dexcom G6) has been taking insulin since a child has been using significantly less insulin because his levels have been mostly normal. He has even had days where he hasn't needed ANY insulin at all! As far as your "scam word salad", you are clearly not a scholar of science. All you had to do was google some of the ingredients and words used. They are real words and make perfect sense when you are talking about the combination of the ingredients and the delivery method. Encapsulation is one of the best methods to extend the shelf life of the ingredients. To do that, you need an optimal carrier that's appropriate for the application or delivery method. This allows the product to start working as soon as it's activated by the moisture (saliva) and gives it a little time to sit on the tongue to be absorbed directly into the blood stream, rather than the conventional method of taking a turmeric pill, an NAC pill and a vitamin B1 pill - in which case you MIGHT absorb 10%. It depends on the person. Some people with irritable bowel syndrome, hiatal hernias, diverticulitis, and those who have undergone bariatric surgery (including gastric sleeve or bypass). Let's talk about NAC... you jumped the gun on that one. NAC is NOT illegal and was NOT illegal and WILL NOT become illegal. When a supplement works well, BIG PHARMA wants their hands on it. They want the control of it because it's a money maker for them. NPA (Natural Products Association) filed a lawsuit against the FDA and won (August 1st). It was determined that NAC is excluded from the dietary supplement definition of the FD&C Act because NAC was approved as a new drug before it was marketed as a dietary supplement or as a food. Let's get to the delivery method, a substance will only take effect if it can be absorbed by the body, so bioavailability is the key to creating a supplement that delivers proven benefits. Bioavailability is a measure of how much a substance is able to access the circulation and reach the target area, and it depends on absorption (how much we get it) and secretion (how much we get out). Again, 85-90% of pills aren't absorbed into the blood stream at all. And in many cases, they don't even disintegrate by the time you empty your bowels. Elomir is definitely about the product and about helping people.

The “recruiting before customer sales” tactic reminds me of the Monat Australia pre-launch. This company seems over the top scammy. I’m really interested to see more content about this company. Will it “dissolve” before any retail customers can make purchases? I think it could go either way.

I think we’d all be better off dissolving a Post-It note on our tongue than this mystery square. Absolutely, unquestionably, hilariously scammy.

It kept going! I haven't been able to look over my left shoulder in at least 20 years! (I suffer from autoimmune issues that affect my joints, tendons and ligaments in addition to arthritis in my neck, back, shoulders and hands.) Now, this is is just MY testimonial. There are plenty more to be heard... a good friend of mine who is diabetic (and has the Dexcom G6) has been taking insulin since a child has been using significantly less insulin because his levels have been mostly normal. He has even had days where he hasn't needed ANY insulin at all! As far as your "scam word salad", you are clearly not a scholar of science. All you had to do was google some of the ingredients and words used. They are real words and make perfect sense when you are talking about the combination of the ingredients and the delivery method. Encapsulation is one of the best methods to extend the shelf life of the ingredients. To do that, you need an optimal carrier that's appropriate for the application or delivery method. This allows the product to start working as soon as it's activated by the moisture (saliva) and gives it a little time to sit on the tongue to be absorbed directly into the blood stream, rather than the conventional method of taking a turmeric pill, an NAC pill and a vitamin B1 pill - in which case you MIGHT absorb 10%. It depends on the person. Some people with irritable bowel syndrome, hiatal hernias, diverticulitis, and those who have undergone bariatric surgery (including gastric sleeve or bypass). Let's talk about NAC... you jumped the gun on that one. NAC is NOT illegal and was NOT illegal and WILL NOT become illegal. When a supplement works well, BIG PHARMA wants their hands on it. They want the control of it because it's a money maker for them. NPA (Natural Products Association) filed a lawsuit against the FDA and won (August 1st). It was determined that NAC is excluded from the dietary supplement definition of the FD&C Act because NAC was approved as a new drug before it was marketed as a dietary supplement or as a food. Let's get to the delivery method, a substance will only take effect if it can be absorbed by the body, so bioavailability is the key to creating a supplement that delivers proven benefits. Bioavailability is a measure of how much a substance is able to access the circulation and reach the target area, and it depends on absorption (how much we get it) and secretion (how much we get out). Again, 85-90% of pills aren't absorbed into the blood stream at all. And in many cases, they don't even disintegrate by the time you empty your bowels. Elomir is definitely about the product and about helping people.

That anecdote about how the manufacturing equipment “can’t handle“ the formula gave me deja vu. Someone I know in Isagenix said that one of their products messed up a machine that was producing it… and I was supposed to be impressed by how potent the product is 🙄 I guess that’s classic mlm bs.

[@willtroy1986]

I have worked on extractors and molecular stills. This comes across as an attempted anthropomorphism of distillation equipment; if a machine(or group of them) cannot process a formula, it’s usually because the operator hasn’t figured out how to calibrate the machine to the specific formula, or the technology to synthesize the components doesn’t exist yet, OR (and what my vote is) the operator is not running the machine to specifications with regards to the specific formula, causing damage and/or loss of efficiency in cycle time and/or throughput. And no shame here actually, dialing in equipment to new formulas can take time, and also, machines can run into unexpected problems down the line with new formulas as well, and can need time-consuming maintenance and even repairs during production runs. The fact that they have delays is not intrinsically alarming to me for this reason. But saying a formula can’t be processed because it’s so awesome is not the same as saying chuck norris can’t get beaten up in a fight because he is so awesome at karate. That’s the tone of the announcement; formulas and distillation equipment don’t have egos.

[@miaomiaochan]

[@danistuart6677]

@@briancrawford8751 I'll tell you exactly what I know that it does. I have been taking Axis Klarity for 70 days now... the first day I noticed I was in a much better mood. Not only did I notice, so did my husband. Now, he's an attorney who specializes in Criminal Defense and Family Law. That's NOT an easy job and it drains him and makes him a little moody and some days it's hard to stay on task. He noticed on day one that he was able to FOCUS and get stuff done. In fact, his legal assistant had to ask him that afternoon why he hadn't had lunch yet. Now back to me... three days into taking the strip, I was no longer clenching my jaw and teeth. I've been doing that uncontrollably for at least 15 years. To the point that I have four cracked molars and my dentist had me try valium - which didn't touch it. Valium scares me so I wasn't excited about that. Next, about three weeks after beginning the strip, I went to one of my regular massage appointments. At the end of the massage, my therapist always stretches my neck to the right... and then to the left. We were both in amazement with the ease and range of motion when she turned my head to the left.

(I suffer from autoimmune issues that affect my joints, tendons and ligaments in addition to arthritis in my neck, back, shoulders and hands.) Additionally, I get horrible migraines that start with an aura. I don't like how my migraine prescription makes me feel, so I took a strip out of curiosity with the hopes that it would help. Not only did the migraine not come on, it knocked out the aura that usually last about 20 minutes. I have had the same success with three more auras/migraines since. I also caught a cold from friends... I upped my strips to 2x/day during the cold. I was recovered in about six days when it took them about 2-1/2 weeks to get over it. Now, this is is just MY testimonial on how the strip has helped me... so far. There are plenty more to be heard... a good friend of mine who is diabetic (and has the Dexcom G6) has been taking insulin since a child has been using significantly less insulin because his levels have been mostly normal since beginning the strip. He has even had days where he hasn't needed ANY insulin at all! The strip is legit and it has been a Godsend for me and several others. It's so much better than taking pills that may or may not disintegrate and you only get 10-15% potency. And it's actually cheaper in the long run if you compare it to quality curcumin, NAC and Vitamin B1 supplements.

Exactly! I’ve had a couple of overdoses and I wasn’t even given NAC due to chance of side effects because my numbers at 4hours were just below toxic levels.

[@Skyfighter94]

There is actually a lot of research that investigates the neuroprotective properties of NAC and other more broader uses. It is very promising in the treatment of several psychatric disorders. I agree, that one should generally be careful when taking supplements. But NAC basically is the artifical form of the aminoacid L-cysteine. We as humans eat this everyday, because cysteine is essential in the methylation process. That makes it totally safe to use in amounts of several grams per day. Heck, one study even showed that 30g of NAC per day for half a year had no side effects at all. NAC supplements usually contain 500mg. So, very far away from any risk. The dissolvable amount of NAC in a ELOMIR strip is even way smaller than 500mg. Maybe a few mg only. This has absolutely no effect on the human body and could be considered homeopathy.

[@danistuart6677]

It makes a big difference on the delivery system. Don't hospitals use IVs for NAC?

The translucent yellow “strip” photo looks like the neon page tabs you can get at office supply stores or back to school sales - which are also partially translucent. If you look real close at 25:52, you can see what appears to be a stripe which would be the adhesive part of the page tabs.

It is very easy to get OTC NAC. I was prescribed it by a very legit doctor for OCD related picking. He said the prescription stuff is basically the same as the OTC stuff I can get at any supplement store as long as I'm picky about brands. I've been taking it for 6 months and it's working well. If it's illegal, it's literally everywhere.

[@s0lastsummer7]

Picking? Like dermatillomania? Is that something that helps with it? I'm always on the lookout for new solutions to my dermatillomania, my long fake nails are my go-to but when I'm spending so much time with my hands in the dirt each summer, it's not foolproof. 😛

[@ashleyn.9166]

@@s0lastsummer7 yeah. I primarily pick my cuticles and bite my nails. I tried various nail options but I tend to pick at the first imperfection and ruin them! My soft, thin nails are easily damaged and in the end cosmetic options did more harm than good.

[@Ikine557]

@@s0lastsummer7 It works for me, too! It doesn't completely make the urges go away, but it slashes them at least in half.

[@moonchild1772]

It's legal the way you get it. Illegal in supplements, is what I've been reading.

[@annascott3542]

Do mind sharing which one you recommend?

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

your videos are such a good way to fill the silence as i WFH lol. they've helped me learn to be more compassionate toward those who have been taken advantage of, and have shown me that some of these tactics might've worked on me at one point. i feel a bit less judgmental toward those who get sucked into MLMs as a result of your calm, caring demeanor.

[@ellencaldwell3140]

I was snooping on Instagram a whole ago and looked up the hash tag "hit the strip" and they really are like completely flooding that hashtag with there stupid posts, I was surprised given how many people go to Vegas or are in Vegas on any given day 🤔

[@ering2467]

I thought exactly the same thing about a scam within a scam. It’s so odd that people just jump o to these things with both feet without even seeing the product.

[@accordracin96]

All they see is dollar signs and/or a product that will "help" them... or so they think

[@lannawolf1864]

That little head kiss to Coopers forehead is everything. 🥰🥰🥰

[@Nothereforgames]

So happy to see your video about this today Hannah. Honestly they look like listerine strips and I find it hard to believe that they can even contain enough of anything to make a difference. But also it almost seems like Elomir might just end up not being able to produce enough product to fulfill all those orders, seems like a scam in my opinion. Lol

[@WydeByteEmi]

Could we get an update on this company?? I've seen them release a second product and they're still functioning as a busines, curious to see what happened!!

[@marydidwhat]

Your deep dives are absolutely amazing. Thank you for your hard work!!!

[@danistuart6677]

There's no way she did a deep dive here. She went in biased and only looked for what would play into her views. First off, I don't know how this bashing comes from 8 hours of "research". You are clearly biased going into this and you must have a lot of time to waste. And I'm sure you know that there is a difference than a "pyramid scheme" than an MLM, right? You must have tried or know someone who has tried an MLM and were unsuccessful with it, or had a bad experience with a bad MLM. I agree that bad MLMs exist but you can't say they are all bad. But there's absolutely no reason to hate on all MLMs. There are some wonderful, legitimate MLMs out there. Pampered Chef for example, I own many, many Pampered chef products that I have had for over 25 years. They have a lifetime warranty and they have been selling great products for years. Same with Tupperware and many others. As far as Elomir, you are way off track. Elomir didn't launch until July 5th. They purposely waited until they had an exceptional product that they were very happy with that provides great results. The Brand Partners placed their orders on July 5th and we received them within a timely manner. The reason for the first phase or the "soft launch" to only brand partners was to prepare for the customer base by ensuring that everything worked correctly (the website, the ordering, the packaging, the shipping). Nothing that any other business wouldn't do. All businesses do a "soft launch". They were also waiting for the arrival of their largest, most efficient machine that had to be carefully and engineered specifically for the production of the product to arrive at the manufacturing facility. Their estimated time to be open fully to the customer base was the middle to end of August. However, things were running smoothly enough to open up to the customers on August 12th. This strip is not a drug, definitely not acid (LOL)... it's not illegal (NAC is NOT illegal), it doesn't make you high. It has three main natural ingredients: NAC, Curcumin and Thiamine. Now, let me tell you what Axis Klarity has done for me... I have been taking Axis Klarity for 63 days now... the first day I noticed I was in a much better mood. Not only did I notice, so did my husband. Now, he's an attorney who specializes in Criminal Defense and Family Law. That's NOT an easy job and it drains him and makes him a little moody and some days it's hard to stay on task. He noticed on day one that he was able to FOCUS and get stuff done. In fact, his legal assistant had to ask him that afternoon why he hadn't had lunch yet. No back to me... three days into taking the strip, I was no longer clenching my jaw and teeth. I've been doing that uncontrollably for at least 15 years. To the point that I have four cracked molars and my dentist had me try valium - which didn't touch it. Valium scares me so I wasn't excited about that. Next, about three week after beginning the strip, I went to one of my regular massage appointments. At the end of the massage, my therapist always stretches my neck to the right and then to the left. We were both in awe with the ease and range of motion when she turned my head to the left. It kept going! I haven't been able to look over my left shoulder in at least 20 years! (I suffer from autoimmune issues that affect my joints, tendons and ligaments in addition to arthritis in my neck, back, shoulders and hands.) Now, this is is just MY testimonial. There are plenty more to be heard... a good friend of mine who is diabetic (and has the Dexcom G6) has been taking insulin since a child has been using significantly less insulin because his levels have been mostly normal. He has even had days where he hasn't needed ANY insulin at all! As far as your "scam word salad", you are clearly not a scholar of science. All you had to do was google some of the ingredients and words used. They are real words and make perfect sense when you are talking about the combination of the ingredients and the delivery method. Encapsulation is one of the best methods to extend the shelf life of the ingredients. To do that, you need an optimal carrier that's appropriate for the application or delivery method. This allows the product to start working as soon as it's activated by the moisture (saliva) and gives it a little time to sit on the tongue to be absorbed directly into the blood stream, rather than the conventional method of taking a turmeric pill, an NAC pill and a vitamin B1 pill - in which case you MIGHT absorb 10%. It depends on the person. Some people with irritable bowel syndrome, hiatal hernias, diverticulitis, and those who have undergone bariatric surgery (including gastric sleeve or bypass). Let's talk about NAC... you jumped the gun on that one. NAC is NOT illegal and was NOT illegal and WILL NOT become illegal. When a supplement works well, BIG PHARMA wants their hands on it. They want the control of it because it's a money maker for them. NPA (Natural Products Association) filed a lawsuit against the FDA and won (August 1st). It was determined that NAC is excluded from the dietary supplement definition of the FD&C Act because NAC was approved as a new drug before it was marketed as a dietary supplement or as a food. Let's get to the delivery method, a substance will only take effect if it can be absorbed by the body, so bioavailability is the key to creating a supplement that delivers proven benefits. Bioavailability is a measure of how much a substance is able to access the circulation and reach the target area, and it depends on absorption (how much we get it) and secretion (how much we get out). Again, 85-90% of pills aren't absorbed into the blood stream at all. And in many cases, they don't even disintegrate by the time you empty your bowels. Elomir is definitely about the product and about helping people.
