LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kourtney Kardashian, founder of wellness brand Lemme, is under fire for promoting Lemme Purr, a vaginal health capsule, with experts labeling it "pseudoscience".

Reality TV star and businesswoman Kourtney Kardashian is facing criticism from medical experts after promoting Lemme Purr, a vaginal health capsule from her wellness brand Lemme.

The product, an offshoot of vaginal health gummies, claims to support pH balance, vaginal health, urinary tract health, and impact genital odor through four clinically-studied probiotic strains, vitamin C, and pineapple extract.

Kourtney Kardashian promoted Lemme Purr stating in a social media post, "This is the first vaginal health capsule that uses four clinically-studied probiotic strains that support pH balance, vaginal health, and urinary tract health."

Medical professionals are denouncing the product, calling it "total pseudoscience" and accusing Kardashian of exploiting women's insecurities.

Dr Mickey Karram, a urogynecologist, stated, "There's no good science behind any of this. I think it's not anything that someone should consider."

Experts emphasized the lack of scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of the ingredients in improving vaginal health. Critics argue that the $40 supplement, targeting women's concerns about vaginal odor and health, is predatory and misleading.

Despite Lemme's claims of clinically-studied probiotic strains, the company has not publicly released any studies supporting their product.

While Lemme Purr is not deemed harmful, medical professionals assert that it offers no proven benefits for vaginal health. Dr Karram stated, "There's zero evidence that anything related to what they're putting into it is going to make anything better."

"I have no idea where [Lemme] came up with that concoction, but there's nothing anywhere that's ever been shown in peer reviewed scientific literature that the vagina is lacking or would benefit from vitamin C or pineapple extract."

Medical experts weigh in on the limited research and debunk claims about supplements influencing vaginal health, emphasizing the self-maintaining nature of the vagina.

Amid the controversy surrounding Kourtney Kardashian's promotion of Lemme Purr, a vaginal health capsule, medical experts shed light on the limited scientific evidence supporting the impact of supplements on vaginal health. Advocates suggest that the ingredients may affect the vagina indirectly, potentially influencing hormones like estrogen.

Estrogen plays a role in increasing vaginal acidity, a crucial factor in protecting against infections. However, experts caution that the vagina is a self-maintaining organ, requiring no additional bacteria or supplements for cleanliness and health.

Internet disapproves of Kourtney Kardashian's $40 vagina supplements

Kourtney Kardashian's promotion of Lemme Purr, a vaginal health capsule priced at $40, has triggered negative reactions on the Internet.

Users are quick to criticize the reality star, with one user stating, "Everyone is a scammer."

Another said, "This family has always been, and always will be disgusting."



 



 

Some users find the product "very fishy," and one suggested a more traditional approach in a humourous way, commenting, "How about daily showering? I hear that helps!"
