Ministry of Health warns: illegal peptides seized in Israel
Published
The Ministry of Health today (Thursday) issued a public warning against the use of illegal peptides. These substances are marketed as solutions for weight loss, muscle building, recovery from injuries, and skin rejuvenation. According to the warning, some of these substances have already been seized in Israel.
The ministry explains that these peptides are not approved for use in Israel. Authorities do not always know what is inside the products, what their concentration is, or how they were produced. Therefore, using them may be dangerous to health and may cause serious side effects.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, and they can affect the body's functions. Many people buy them in hope of quick results, sometimes through the internet or from unfamiliar sources. The Ministry of Health emphasizes that there is no medical approval for using them for these purposes.
The ministry recommends that the public not purchase such substances from unauthorized sources. Before starting drug treatment or taking dietary supplements, it is advisable to consult a doctor or pharmacist. Anyone who experiences unusual symptoms after using such substances should seek medical treatment immediately.
The warning is a reminder to everyone that health is a serious matter. Quick results promised in advertisements are not always safe, so it is important to check the information before using a product.
