The Ministry of Health warns the public about social media posts falsely claiming that weight loss capsules were developed or approved by Prof. Itamar Raz.
These products are not registered or approved in Israel and may contain harmful substances. Prof. Raz has no connection to them.
The ministry also warns against dietary supplements—pills, powders, teas, ointments, or tonics—promoted as cures or disease preventatives. Such claims can give a false sense of treatment and may lead people to skip necessary medical care, putting their health at risk.
Purchases should be made only through pharmacies or reputable retail chains. Avoid buying medications or supplements from social media or unknown websites.
For safe weight loss or supplement use, consult a licensed nutritionist, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy diet. Only approved medical products can be relied on for treatment or prevention.
