Health Ministry Warns of Dangerous Slimming Product Containing Banned Substance
Israel's Ministry of Health has issued a public warning against the slimming product "G-Slim," which has been found to contain sibutramine, a substance banned for marketing in Israel and globally. Laboratory tests revealed 53.8 mg of sibutramine per capsule, three times the dosage found in similar products previously.
This warning follows the recent hospitalization of a young man who experienced chest pains and rapid heartbeat after consuming the product. The ministry cautions that consuming G-Slim can lead to elevated blood pressure, rapid pulse, heart attacks, strokes, and potentially life-threatening conditions.
The public is strongly advised to avoid purchasing health products through social media networks and to buy only from authorized sources to ensure product safety and compliance.
