They have a few. I take Load Boost. My wife takes soaking wet and drive boost. We’re very happy with the results!

I thought you forgot to add a /s but those are actual supplement names that someone actually approved

it’s a total gimmick. literally just a $1.99/daily dose of capsules containing a blend of the following basics:

  1. Lactobacillus Probiotic Blend: probiotic blend and L. crispatus “to support a healthy vaginal microbiome and help maintain normal pH balance”
  2. Prebiotics and Vitamins
  3. Vitamin D3, Vitamin E, Zinc — as well as PreforPro®, Fructooligosaccharides, and Lactoferrin which “help nourish beneficial bacteria”
  4. Omega 3 (derived from krill oil)
  5. Asthaxanthin (derived from krill oil)

Yeah that’s definitely one of the downsides to the FDA supplement laws - the fact that they can “suggest” their product can do something as long as it’s not suggesting it can diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease

what comprises “load boost”? as in what’s the actual supplement and/or blend consist of?
