An athletic body with muscular six pack is your destination, but don’t let this strong desire trapped you in a way that is not wise, one of them is not carefully buying the supplements.

However, not everyone realizes the importance to check whether the product is listed in The National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM) or not. Whereas, the registration of products in the BPOM is a very important safety guarantees because it deals directly with consumers’ health.

In fact, BPOM often finds products without registration number. The worse is there are many products with dangerous chemicals. In the first half of 2010, BPOM found 47 brands or herbal medicine products that should only have natural materials, contained chemicals that are harmful to health. In addition, there are also 93 brands of alcoholic beverages contained methanol, a substance that is used for industry, which should not be consumed¹.

Dangerous chemicals can also be contained in a variety of supplement products that do not have registration number from BPOM, especially if the product is purchased at retail and repackaged by the seller. The bad effects of consuming fake products with prohibited ingredients might not be felt in the near future, but the effects due to accumulation of harmful substances in the body would be fatal to health in the long term. It even can cause death.

Be a smart consumer! Be careful before buying and consuming a product. Make sure you consume products manufactured by companies that are certified and have a registration number from BPOM to ensure the safety and Halal.

Instead of a healthy body with muscular sixpack, you will get diseases by taking those illegal products. Your health is too precious to be traded with anything!
