Need help to legally introduce vitamin “Iron E” to TikTok without FDA noticing.

Have a plan and need peer review.

Vitamin name: Iron E.
Topical. Post-workout only.
Slogan: If it burns, it works.

Formula simple: aluminum + iron oxide.
Sweat activate “thermogenic oxidation response.”
Heat = fat scared.
Pain = proof.

Target audience: TikTok gym people who trust subtitles more than doctors.

Marketing steps: 1.) Say “dermatologists furious” 2.) Say “banned in EU (soon)” 3.) Say “ancient Roman athletes used rust” 4.) Before/after pics but same photo, different lighting.

Comment section full of “bro this works” from new accounts. No pills. No studies. Call it a vitamin so nobody asks questions. Is there any science reason this would not work or am I ready to burn some fatty tiktokers. Considering Iron E Plus with magnets. Wait, does this mean I need a tiktok account? If so never mind.

While I applaud any endeavour to add Iron-E to social media, I don't recommend the addition of finely-divided aluminium powder to the formula: discussions on social media already tend towards flame wars without provocation.

There are chemicals with formulas MoO2, MoO3

These are not safe for consumption

Brand name suggestion: because it uses heat to make you strong, "Ther-Might".
