Is RENEW a scam? An honest, evidence-first answer.
Short answer: RENEW is not technically a scam — you'll get product, you can get a refund — but the formula, the storyline, and the price point all pile up against the buyer in ways we couldn't reconcile.
Quick read
We would skip it
RENEW clears the legal bar — you'll get a bottle, and a refund is enforceable through the third-party checkout. We still don't recommend buying it. The combination of red flags below is more than any single one of them looks at first glance.

What $162 actually buys you in refund protection
RENEW is sold through the ClickBank third-party checkout, so it carries the one mechanic that decides the whole "is this a scam" question: a 60-day money-back guarantee the payment processor enforces, not the seller. The processor sits between your card and the brand; ask in writing inside 60 days and it issues the refund and claws the money back from the vendor. The brand gets no vote. The specifics of how much that protects, though, depend on what you're paying and how you're billed — and for RENEW, that's where it gets product-specific.
You're floating $162 up front — but the recurring flag on RENEW's checkout means the refund covers what shipped, not future rebills. Get the refund and cancel the subscription in the same sitting, or the 60-day clock protects only the first charge.
Because RENEW is on our avoid list, the refund is doing heavy lifting: it's the one thing keeping a purchase from being a flat loss. If you buy at all, set a calendar reminder well inside 60 days and don't let the window lapse.
RENEW's checkout exposes a recurring or subscription path on at least one bundle option. Read the cart screen before paying — the refund still works, but cancellation is a separate step.
Why RENEW shows up in scam searches in the first place
Health-and-fitness ClickBank launches lean on a particular emotional hook: you've already tried the obvious thing, and it didn't work, so here's the thing nobody told you. That framing is not, in itself, a scam signal — but it pairs with proprietary blends and recurring billing often enough to be worth flagging.
RENEW sits in the Dietary Supplements segment of the Health & Fitness catalog, and the one-line description we keep on file is: RENEW is a $162 recurring supplement with no ingredient list on the sales page. We can't verify what's inside, so we can't recommend it. The full review goes deeper, but that line is usually enough to explain why the search query exists.
Our one-paragraph read on RENEW
A $162 recurring supplement sold on hype with zero ingredient transparency. The 60-day refund window exists, but the recurring billing makes it a headache to cancel.
Who RENEW actually fits — and who it doesn't
"Scam or not" is the wrong question for most buyers. The useful question is whether RENEW matches your situation, because the same bottle is a reasonable gamble for one person and a waste of $162 for the next. Here's how we'd sort it.
Defensible for
- No one we can honestly recommend this to — not without an ingredient label
- If you have $162 to gamble and enjoy testing mystery supplements, the refund window gives you a safety net (but cancel the subscription immediately)
Skip it if
- You want to know what you're putting in your body before buying
- You're not comfortable with recurring billing or the hassle of canceling subscriptions
- You expect a $162 supplement to have published clinical evidence or transparent sourcing
Specific red flags from our RENEW teardown
None of these are, individually, proof of fraud. Together they're the texture of a sales page that's working harder than the formula behind it.
- No ingredient list anywhere on the sales page — you literally don't know what you're swallowing
- $162 price point is premium-supplement territory, but there's no evidence of premium ingredients
- Recurring billing: the fine print likely signs you up for monthly shipments, and canceling can be a chore
- The 'saltwater trick' framing is a classic ClickBank gimmick — it's a hook, not a scientific breakthrough
- Affiliates are incentivized with high commissions ($161.92 per sale), which means the product cost is inflated to cover payouts
Here's what I'd actually do
If you opened this at 11 pm and the page made the supplement look like an answer to something larger:
Close this tab. RENEW - Straight Fire, Son! is in the band where the marketing is doing the heavy lifting and the formula is not. There are evidence-based versions of every promise on that sales page, and most of them cost a third of the price with full label transparency.
Don't buy this if: Do not buy this if you have a diagnosed condition that this product is implicitly addressing. See a clinician. A $69 bottle does not replace a $0-with-insurance lab panel.

Frequently asked questions about RENEW
- Has anyone actually been scammed by RENEW?
- We have not seen credible evidence that RENEW buyers fail to receive product. The complaints we have seen — and they exist — cluster around two things: (1) the bottle didn't deliver the result the sales page implied, which is a marketing problem, not theft; and (2) the refund process required emailing the third-party checkout processor rather than the seller, which catches buyers who didn't read the receipt. Both are normal in this category.
- How do I get a refund if RENEW doesn't work?
- RENEW is sold through ClickBank's third-party checkout, which enforces a 60-day money-back guarantee on every product on its network — regardless of what the seller's sales page or autoship language says. You request the refund from the checkout processor (the contact info is on your purchase receipt), not from the brand itself. The processor will issue the refund and pull the money back from the seller. This single mechanic is the strongest consumer protection on the platform, and it is independent of how good or bad RENEW's formula is. Note: cancelling any subscription is a separate step from getting refunded for product already shipped.
- Is the company behind RENEW real?
- Yes — RENEW ships from a real fulfillment operation through a regulated US payment processor, which is a basic eligibility requirement for the ClickBank channel. "Real company" and "honest marketing" are not the same thing, though. Our full review of RENEW digs into the specific claims on the sales page, who is and isn't named, and which testimonials and "doctor endorsements" hold up to a reverse image search.
- What are the actual red flags on the RENEW sales page?
- From our teardown: (1) No ingredient list anywhere on the sales page — you literally don't know what you're swallowing; (2) $162 price point is premium-supplement territory, but there's no evidence of premium ingredients; (3) Recurring billing: the fine print likely signs you up for monthly shipments, and canceling can be a chore; (4) The 'saltwater trick' framing is a classic ClickBank gimmick — it's a hook, not a scientific breakthrough; (5) Affiliates are incentivized with high commissions ($161.92 per sale), which means the product cost is inflated to cover payouts. None of these on their own prove fraud — but together they tell you what the formula and the marketing are really doing.
- Should I just buy RENEW or is there a safer option?
- We do not recommend buying RENEW as currently sold. The 60-day refund means a purchase isn't catastrophic, but the combination of red flags on the formula and the sales page is enough that we'd point you at a different product entirely.
