Fact check: Did Oprah do a video for prozenith weight loss supplement.

1. Summary of the results

No, Oprah Winfrey did not create a video for Prozenith weight loss supplement. The evidence consistently shows that any videos or endorsements featuring Oprah's likeness promoting Prozenith are fake and unauthorized.

Multiple sources confirm that Prozenith has been marketed using fraudulent endorsements from Oprah Winfrey ^[1]. A Utah woman reported being deceived by what she believed was an Oprah-endorsed supplement called Prozenith, which turned out to be nothing more than common turmeric spice sold at an inflated price ^[1].

Oprah herself has actively warned her fans against falling victim to companies selling weight loss products using her name and image without authorization ^[2]. She has explicitly stated that she does not endorse diet gummies, pills, or weight loss supplements ^{[3] [2]}.

The deceptive marketing tactics include the use of AI-generated deepfake videos featuring Oprah's likeness to promote weight loss products, including the "pink salt trick" trend that has been falsely associated with her ^{[3] [4]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks crucial context about the widespread nature of fake celebrity endorsements in the weight loss supplement industry. The analyses reveal that this isn't an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern of fraudulent marketing practices ^{[2] [3] [4]}.

Key missing context includes:

• The "pink salt trick" weight loss trend has been falsely linked to Oprah through fake advertisements and videos ^{[3] [4]}
• Prozenith appears to be marketed as an alternative to this trend, but still uses unauthorized celebrity endorsements ^[3]
• The supplement industry benefits financially from using celebrity likenesses without permission, as it lends credibility to otherwise questionable products ^[1]

Companies selling weight loss supplements would benefit significantly from society accepting fake celebrity endorsements as legitimate, as it drives sales through false credibility and trust transfer from beloved public figures like Oprah.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question itself contains an implicit assumption that such a video might exist, which could inadvertently spread misinformation about Oprah's involvement with weight loss supplements.

The phrasing suggests uncertainty rather than awareness that any such video would be fraudulent by definition, given Oprah's well-documented stance against endorsing weight loss products ^[2].

The question fails to acknowledge the established pattern of fake endorsements using Oprah's name and likeness in the weight loss supplement industry, which has been extensively documented and warned against by both Oprah herself and consumer protection sources ^[4].

By not framing the question with awareness of these fraudulent practices, it may contribute to the normalization of fake celebrity endorsements and make consumers more susceptible to similar scams in the future.
