A Facebook post promoting the product ‘JANSIO Threanic Triple-Spin Ring’ is being shared on social media claiming that wearing the ring would cause substantial weight loss. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: JANSIO Threanic Triple-Spin Ring would help in substantial weight loss.
Fact: There is no evidence to suggest that magnetic rings, or similar magnetic devices, aid in weight loss. Also, according to Federal Trade Commission, ‘Nothing you can wear or apply to your skin will cause you to lose weight’. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
The product website claims that the ring is entirely magnetized and the electromagnetic charge released by it will remove blockages in the body thus causing weight reduction. However, according to the Federal Trade Commission(FTC), products worn on the body or applied to the skin do not cause substantial weight loss. According to a cautionary guide released by FTC, several experts suggest that products like rings, patches, creams etc clarified that these products do not help in losing weight.
Also, according to several studies and experts (here, here and here), there is no evidence to suggest that magnetic rings, or similar magnetic devices, aid in weight loss.
To sum it up, there is no evidence to suggest that wearing a magnetized ring will help in substantial weight loss.
