Israel's Ministry of Health has issued a warning regarding illegal peptides being marketed for weight loss and bodybuilding, which pose significant health risks. Among the substances identified are BPC-157, GHK-Cu, CJC-1295, and TB-500. Additionally, Retatrutide, a compound currently in clinical trials for obesity treatment and not yet approved for sale in Israel, is also being promoted.
These substances are being advertised as solutions for weight reduction, muscle development, anti-aging, and athletic performance enhancement, despite lacking official approval for use within Israel. The Ministry emphasizes that using these unregulated substances can lead to severe health consequences, including damage to the liver and kidneys, hormonal imbalances, and disruptions in blood sugar levels.
The Ministry urges the public to report any sales or marketing of these illicit materials by contacting the "Kol HaBriut" (Voice of Health) hotline at *5400.
