“This IV drip completely regenerates and revitalizes all stem cells from scratch. It is an incredibly effective and beneficial drip, and I feel like everyone needs it.”

This is an excerpt from statements made by Reyhaneh Parsa, an Iranian actress residing in Turkey, while promoting a medical center in Istanbul. In the video, she speaks about an IV drip referred to as “NAD” and claims that this treatment is beneficial and even essential for everyone.

Statements of this nature have become a permanent fixture in the advertisements of certain private clinics in Turkey in recent years. These centers utilize prominent social media figures to promote services ranging from rejuvenation and cosmetics to so-called anti-aging treatments, stem cell therapies, and wellness supplements.

However, doctors and journalists warn that there is a significant gap between these promotional advertisements and scientific reality.

The Clinic: “There is no question of stem cell renewal or revitalization”
