The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star adopted the same energy of followers and other medical professionals who said her vitamin supplements, specifically Lemme Purr, don't work.

Kourtney, 43, shared a video in which a medical doctor went all in to explain how the vagina works and the advantages the probiotics boast of.

"The vagina is self-cleansing and generally takes care of itself," Dr. Kathleen Valenton, a board-certified OB-GYN and M.D. at Rodeo Drive Women's Health Center, said in the TikTok video.

She continued, "But there are few things that can throw off the vaginal flora. Things like stress, sex, excessive vaginal bleeding, douching, and antibiotics."

The physician contended that a probiotic like Kourtney's Lemme Purr, which contains the unique lactic-acid-producing coagulant known as SNZ-1969, helps buffer the effects of these setbacks on the vagina.

Kourtney Kardashian Was Criticized For Lemme Purr

The Lemme founder came under fire from fans and followers after she debuted the vaginal gummies, which many shared were "harmful" and "pushing a myth."

One follower wrote, "Another example of marketing unnecessary projects to women to make them feel insecure enough to buy it."

"So you're concerned that vaginal health isn't talked about enough, and your solution is to market an unnecessary product that preys on women's insecurities?" another fan penned, adding, "Imagine if you did something meaningful instead, like helping fund a health campaign or clinic visits for low-income women."

One puzzled person asked, "It's 2023, and we're still trying to capitalize off of a woman's insecurities? The Kardashians really do a great job at doing exactly that, and now this?!"

"Weaponizing the patriarchy for profit is misogyny. Promoting misinformation regarding women's health is just a vile thing to do - be a better human Kardashian," another fan wrote.

"This is just dumb! How are people buying into this?" a peeved fan asked. "This specific body part is literally self-cleaning and doesn't need no gummies to make it 'healthy'... Your body will literally tell you if something's up. Anything to make money, fgs."

"Doesn't she know to check before posting? What's that on her arm?" a fan pointed out.

Another wrote, "What is that on your arm? You should really get that checked; it could be serious."

Fans of the business mogul were quick to point out that there was nothing abnormal about the lump, with someone calling it a "boob spillage."

"It's literally just skin pushed up from a tight top. All these comments are why they all edit everything so much," another fan noted.

Wonder what her family thinks of her new style?" to which Kardashian replied, "Ooooh inquiring minds would like to know this is so fascinating."
