Don't fall into traps while trying to stay healthy in Alanya! This detail is of vital importance
Don't risk your health while trying to take dietary supplements.
While dietary supplements are often considered harmless, they can have negative effects on your health. It has been noted that many counterfeit supplements purchased through online shopping pose a threat to health.
Citizens who try to support their bodies with dietary supplements in the face of malnutrition, stress, insomnia, and vitamin deficiency have been warned. Experts advise against shopping on online platforms like social media, emphasizing that many unlicensed supplements and foods in the market are dangerous. Türker Babalık commented on the matter, stating, "Supplements must be obtained from pharmacies. Thousands of unlicensed and counterfeit products are circulating on online sites."
OBTAIN THEM FROM PHARMACIES!
The Ministry of Health does not approve the sale of dietary supplements in the form of medications in markets, gas stations, and especially on online sites without adequate control and attention to storage conditions. Experts emphasize that there are 12,000 licensed dietary supplements under the Ministry's authority and warn citizens, "Medications are solely within the expertise of pharmacists."
COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS ARE FLOODING THE MARKET
Speaking to the Alanya Posta Media team, Antalya Pharmacists' Association Alanya Representative Türker Babalık said, "There is already doubt about the contents of these products from the start. The so-called 'backdoor' products do not contain the stated ingredients, which is a threat. Unfortunately, correct information is not provided to citizens when selling these products. It is much more appropriate to obtain them with advisory services. Therefore, our pharmacies are very professional in terms of storage conditions. Unfortunately, in a place like Alanya, storage conditions are much more challenging, so our pharmacies are very good in this regard. Citizens should obtain the necessary supplements from expert recommendations, licensed, and secure places. There are many counterfeit products on online sites. Before price, citizens should prioritize their health and obtain supplements from pharmacies. During inspections, we have seen many imitations of licensed products; great care must be taken with these."
