Fitness Influencer Promotes Pre-Workout Supplement: A Call for Critical Thinking

A US-based fitness influencer, Mikayla Renfroe (@mikaylarenfroe), recently promoted a pre-workout supplement in a short video posted on May 30, 2025. The video, which has garnered 389 views and 11 likes, shows Renfroe in her kitchen, enthusiastically describing the product's benefits for weight loss and digestion. She states, "This is my gym girl secret weapon for bloating, digestion, and staying light before workouts." However, the claims made in the video lack independent verification. While the video's popularity highlights the reach of social media influencers in promoting products, consumers should approach such endorsements with caution and seek independent confirmation of product claims before making purchases. The video serves as a reminder of the importance of critical thinking when evaluating health and wellness products promoted online.
