Has Dr. Oz endorsed or promoted Gelatide publicly?

1. Trend pieces claim a “Dr. Oz” gelatin trick went viral

Multiple recipe and wellness sites frame the gelatin weight-loss trick as “tied back to Dr. Oz” or as the “original Dr. Oz gelatin recipe,” and they present step-by-step instructions and anecdotal testimonials that use his name to lend credibility to the trend ^{[5] [1] [2]}. Those pages treat the association as driving social-media interest rather than pointing to a single, verifiable Dr. Oz endorsement event ^{[1] [2]}.

2. No source here shows a direct, verifiable endorsement of “Gelatide”

Within the provided results there is no primary news piece, press release, or archive clip showing Dr. Oz directly saying “I endorse Gelatide” or formally promoting a product with that name. The items in this set are recipe and trend pages invoking “Dr. Oz” and watchdog articles about other product endorsements; none confirm a public, explicit endorsement of a product called Gelatide (available sources do not mention a direct Oz endorsement of Gelatide; ^[5]; ^[1]; ^[2]; p1_s5).

3. Context: Dr. Oz’s name has long been used to sell diet tricks

Reporting and historical coverage show Oz’s brand has frequently been invoked by marketers and social-media creators to promote diet hacks and supplements. Past warnings and corrections have noted fake ads and scams that splice or invent endorsements using physicians’ images or AI, and consumer-advice pieces have cautioned audiences when celebrity names are used to sell products ^{[3] [7]}. The recipe pieces themselves acknowledge that social-media virality—not necessarily a documented Oz endorsement—drove the gelatin trend ^{[1] [2]}.

4. Oz’s documented endorsement history complicates the picture

Investigations by watchdog groups and outlets such as The Spokesman-Review, Fortune and Bloomberg reported Dr. Oz promoted herbal products on social platforms without necessarily disclosing paid ties, creating regulatory and trust concerns; those reports show he did publicly tout supplements on social media and product posts ^{[4] [6] [8]}. That record explains why websites and consumers are quick to link his name to diet products; it does not prove he specifically endorsed Gelatide, however ^{[4] [6]}.

5. Two competing messages in the record

On one hand, wellness blogs present “Dr. Oz gelatin” recipes and claim the trick “exploded” after being mentioned on TV and social clips—framing Oz as the origin or inspiration ^{[5] [1]}. On the other hand, consumer-protection and archival warnings emphasize Oz’s history of endorsements and the frequent misuse of celebrity doctor imagery—warning readers that name recognition often gets co-opted by marketers or scammers ^{[3] [4] [7]}. Both narratives are present in the sources provided.

6. What readers should take away

Given the materials here, you can say that many lifestyle sites and social posts attribute a gelatin weight-loss “trick” to Dr. Oz and that Oz has a track record of product endorsements that drew watchdog attention ^{[5] [1] [2] [4] [6]}. You cannot, based on these sources, state that Dr. Oz publicly endorsed or promoted a product named Gelatide—no direct citation in this collection confirms that specific claim (available sources do not mention a direct Oz endorsement of Gelatide; ^[5]; ^[1]; ^[2]; p1_s5).

Limitations and next steps: these conclusions rely only on the documents you supplied. If you want definitive proof one way or the other, I can search for archived Dr. Oz show transcripts, his verified social posts, or press releases from the Gelatide maker to find a primary-source endorsement or a formal denial.
