The law
What does the FTC rule say about fake reviews?
It bans them. The Federal Trade Commission rule, published August 22, 2024 and effective October 21, 2024, bans fake or false consumer reviews and testimonials, review suppression, and buying or selling fake indicators of social media influence (FTC, Reviews and testimonials rule (2024)).
Review suppression means hiding or blocking honest reviews. A site that shows only praise can fall in that group. The rule does not make every glowing review fake, and it cannot find a fake for you.
Warning signs
What are the signs of a fake supplement review?
Fake reviews tend to promise results, repeat each other and carry no proof of purchase. None of these alone proves a fake, but several together are a reason to pause.
| Sign | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Promises a result | The FTC wants claims backed by human clinical testing (FTC, Health products guidance) |
| Same wording across reviews | Copied text points to one author |
| No order link or date | A real order can be matched; a quote cannot |
| Only five-star scores | Honest products draw mixed feedback |
| Photos that look staged | Stock or vendor images are not a buyer's own |
The FTC also says individual experiences are not a substitute for scientific research (FTC, Health products guidance).
A quick routine
How do you check a supplement before you trust its reviews?
Check the label first, then the reviews. A review cannot tell you what is in the capsule, so the label comes first.
- 01
Check the seal and your medicines
On a new bottle, check the seal and read the label. List any diabetes, blood thinner, blood pressure, thyroid or seizure medicine you take and ask your doctor or pharmacist first.
- 02
Pick a meal
The sales page and the brief say to take it with a meal. Choose a meal you eat every day, such as breakfast, so the habit sticks.
- 03
Take 1 capsule with a full glass of water
One capsule a day. Swallow it with a full glass of water. Do not double up if you miss a day; confirm the directions on your bottle.
- 04
Keep a simple log and see your doctor
Note sleep, stomach upset, dizziness or anything odd. Keep every prescribed medicine going, and stop and ask a clinician if you react. New numbness or tingling needs a visit, not a log.
The steps above are our own routine for Flow Nerves and any similar bottle.
On this site
Why does this site show no Flow Nerves reviews?
None are verified. The seller's page showed a score, counts and sample quotes, and we do not publish them. No rating, review count or customer quote appears here, and we will not invent one.
When real ones are matched to orders and the buyer agrees, they will go in clearly marked slots. For the rule behind this choice, see the FTC page above (FTC, Reviews and testimonials rule (2024)).
