Arjen Lubach saw an advertisement in which Ruud Gullit promotes nutritional supplements. The former top footballer is by no means the only well-known Dutchman who lends himself to this. Geraldine Kemper, Arie Boomsma and a host of other celebrities claim for a fee that a person needs a certain amount of extra vitamins and minerals to live a vital life. But is that the case, Lubach wonders in his De Avondshow.
Not from a medical point of view, says Lubach, who points out that all the substances your body needs are already in your daily diet. Assuming a somewhat normal diet. Lucrative scam. Former Olympic rower Govert Viergever makes it extra colorful. He already unfoundedly claimed on social media that people need nutritional supplements because ‘our lifestyle and stress are simply many times higher’. But ‘that postman fantasy from Instagram’, according to Lubach, now also has his own program at KRO-NCRV, The Biohack Project, in which he supposedly teaches semi-celebrities to “hack” their bodies.
“He recommends extra magnesium, in this case against concentration problems,” says Lubach about one of Viergever’s many completely out of the blue claims. A statement that is, by the way, prohibited from being explicitly stated according to the Advertising Code Committee. Lubach notes: ‘You can’t put it in a pot, but you can tell it on NPO 1.’
