In recent days, many social media users have been arguing about a weight loss product by DJ Ngan 98. Currently, authorities are conducting an inspection and have not yet reached an official conclusion about these products.

According to records, currently on social platforms and e-commerce platforms, there are some types of weight loss supplements advertised by Ngan 98 for sale.

Among them, 3 weight loss products stand out: X3 weight loss pills (Super Detox X3), X7 weight loss pills (X7 plus) and X1000 weight loss pills. Each of these products is advertised for prices ranging from a few hundred to nearly 1 million VND.

According to many online advertisements, this product is said to "challenge all body types, lose weight after only 15 days without dieting or exercising, and still lose weight even after eating."

In a promotional video , Ngan 98 said that this is a product that she has used for 6 months and guarantees that there are no side effects. She also affirmed that when using this weight loss product, she will not gain weight again.

Before the authorities intervened, many entertainment forums condemned Ngan 98's advertising as "ridiculous, exaggerating the product's benefits"...

Many viewers frankly declared: "I work out hard and eat scientifically , but losing weight is still very difficult. I don't understand why many people now still believe in taking pills to lose weight. It's really funny, losing money and getting sick, you have to bear it."

As of May 23, the weight loss products that Ngan 98 is the "brand face" of are no longer accessible on the web (Ngan 98's official website on Facebook has a blue tick - PV).

Speaking to the press on May 23, Mr. Chu Quoc Thinh - Deputy Director of the Food Safety Department, Ministry of Health - said that the department is checking the case of the weight loss product that Ngan 98 advertised. Accordingly, in terms of food, the inspection showed that the product had been registered for declaration.

"However, we are reviewing the advertising content, there are suspicions of violating food advertising. We will strictly handle according to regulations if there is a violation," said Mr. Thinh.

Also according to Mr. Thinh, according to current regulations, advertising health protection foods must register advertising content before publishing the advertisement.

However, recently, there have been cases of individuals advertising in violation of regulations. One is advertising products that have not been registered for publication. Two is advertising that has not confirmed the advertising content with the competent authority. Third is advertising content that exceeds the declared product features.

He also emphasized that the department regularly reviews advertising content on social networking platforms to promptly handle and ensure advertising complies with regulations.
