Because losing weight and reducing size is one of the main purposes of the New Year, the Sanitary Jurisdiction VI urges the population to be alert and avoid the consumption of so-called “miracle” products that do not have scientific evidence or sanitary registration and that can cause serious health damage.
The agency said that many of these articles are advertised on social networks such as Facebook and lack identification data to guarantee their use, contraindications, safety, quality and effectiveness of use. Sometimes they are offered from drops, capsules, gels, milkshakes, soaps, tea, tablets and plastic reducers “to lose weight and recover the figure”.
To avoid risks, José Luna Riojas, coordinator of Regulation and Health Promotion, invites the population to consult the official page of the Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks (Cofepris): https://www.gob.mx / cofepris so that they know the health alerts and the products that have been withdrawn from the market.
The official said that the best suggestion is to go to a health professional to help them lose weight safely and through daily exercise and a balanced diet.
“If they are nutritional supplements they can not have any curative property, that is where the deviant or incorrect information on the part of the merchant begins, the best suggestion is that they approach a professional, either by diet or by a medication that is duly prescribed. “he added.
If you have any questions on this subject, you can contact the Sanitary Regulation telephone number: 716-07-74.
