Abstract

AbstractMulti-level marketing (MLM) of dietary supplements and other nutrition products that have nutritional value or promoted as remedies may be unnecessary and intended for conditions that are unsuitable for self-prescription. The respect of the principles of beneficence, nonmaleficence and autonomy is at stake. The general public should avoid nutrition and health-related multi-level products, while government agencies should become involved as well. Clinical nutrition scientific societies should define policies and recommendations on how, by whom and when dietary supplements should be prescribed.KeywordsVitamin mineral supplementsBotanical supplementsNetwork marketingPyramid schemeWellness productsHealth and fitness productsQuestionable marketingAnti-ethical marketing
