Don't let celebrity photos fool you.

The Food Safety Administration advises consumers: Health is more important than any promises from a TikTok video or a social media post. Don't be fooled by flowery advertisements or images of celebrities online.

Missing out on treatment opportunities due to believing in advertisements for dietary supplements.

According to the Food Safety Department of the Ministry of Health , on media and social networks, especially on social media platforms, there are TikTokers, KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders), and KOCs (Key Opinion Consumers) who promote food products with "miraculous" promises such as rapid weight loss, instant skin beautification, or superior health enhancement.

Exaggerating the benefits of dietary supplements leads consumers to believe in the product's true capabilities.

The Food Safety Administration advises that, to avoid falling into the "trap" of unsubstantiated advertisements, consumers should thoroughly research products before deciding to buy them; and only purchase dietary supplements from reliable sources.

At the same time, don't be fooled by flashy advertisements or celebrity photos online. Your health is more important than any promise from a TikTok video or a Facebook post.

According to the Food Safety Administration, advertisements such as "complete cure," "rapid effects in just a few days," and "100% natural traditional remedies" are all signs of exaggerated advertising. In many cases, influential figures on social media have "exaggerated" the effects of dietary supplements, leading consumers to believe in the product's true capabilities.

The Food Safety Administration notes that these advertisements not only disappoint consumers when the product doesn't meet expectations, but also pose a potential health risk. Consumers may self-medicate with dietary supplements without consulting a professional, leading to side effects or other serious problems.

Furthermore, many products that are excessively advertised may be counterfeit, fake, or of unknown origin, increasing the risk for consumers.

Alarmingly, many patients trust dietary supplements, ignoring their doctor's treatment plan, leading to worsening conditions and missed opportunities for proper treatment. Furthermore, some products of unknown origin may contain banned substances, causing dangerous side effects.
