The company Rem3dy Health has raised £14 million to launch personalized supplements manufactured with 3D printing. The promise is that each customer receives vitamins tailored to them. The reality is that it is an expensive product, with dubious scientific basis, aimed at an audience with high purchasing power. Behind the technological wrapper lies a marketing strategy rather than a real health solution.
3D Printing: The Perfect Excuse to Mark Up a Generic Supplement 🧪
The technology of 3D printing applied to supplements is slow and costly. Far from offering real value, it serves to justify a high price. Personalization is based on a simple online questionnaire, without blood tests or medical diagnosis. Science shows that most vitamins are excreted if there is no deficiency. Furthermore, Rem3dy Health has a history of false advertising, and the invested funds are seeking a quick stock market listing, not product efficacy.
Your Health Printed? Better Eat an Orange 🍊
Now it turns out that to find out what vitamins you need, you just have to answer an internet test and wait for a 3D printer to prepare a magic supplement. All for a price that would make your wallet cry. Meanwhile, the industry sells you the idea that eating well is very complicated and that you should pay for a colorful pill instead. Health is not printed, it is cultivated. And your body already knows how to do it without needing a £14 million printer.
