Gwyneth Paltrow figures among the most-hated celebs on the internet, right up in the list with the Kardashian clan and Justin Bieber. And a recent incident involving her wellness brand Goop hasn슬롯사이트™t helped endear her to the masses either. She슬롯사이트™s under fire for selling a vitamin supplement The Mother Load, meant for expectant and pregnant mothers, which according to the website, is a 슬롯사이트œtop-of-the-line natal protocol.슬롯사이트� The website recommends that women take it before conception and while they are pregnant. The pills reportedly contain 60 percent of the daily vitamin A requirement meant for pregnant women and 110 percent of the daily value meant for others.

But the British National Health Service (NHS), a dietetic association, is not all that impressed. They have reasons to believe that the dietary supplement may be the worst thing for pregnant women. According to The Sunday Times, The Good Thinking Society, a non-profit organisation that targets pseudoscience, has also submitted a complaint against Goop to the National Trading Standards and the Advertising Standards Authority.

There슬롯사이트™s no disputing that vitamin A is an important nutrient. But too much of the nutrient, especially during pregnancy, can have devastating effects. Some studies have shown that an excess of vitamin A can cause congenital disabilities of the eyes, skull, lungs and heart. An intake of 10,000 IU per day is not recommended for a pregnant woman who has no nutritional deficiencies.

Goop Trolled!

Goop has already faced heat in the past for promoting potentially-dangerous, useless and expensive products such as jade eggs in the past. The website has also been criticised for its extravagance and Marie Antoinette-esque attitude of pushing unaffordable paraphernalia in the name of alternative medicine.

It has had constant run-ins with the medical fraternity who accuse Goop of peddling unscientific advice such as vaginal steaming, which is neither effective nor affordable.
