Consumer protection police and Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) officials have broken a network allegedly producing and distributing to dealers across the country the “NQS Cross” weight loss supplement, which was laced with sibutramine.

 

About 7,000 boxes of the appetite suppressing supplement, worth about two million baht, were seized and three suspects arrested in raids in Tak, Phitsanuloke and Sukhothai provinces last Thursday.

 

Police said that two of the suspects, identified as “Nutjaree” and “Suthathip”, are TikTok influencers who have a large number of followers, with the third, “Jutjaree”, being a major distributor of the “NQS Cross” supplement.

The best diet is to eat a properly managed balanced diet each day, and only consume what you need.

The body will respond better to this method instead of eating rubbish and diet suppression pills.

Big Pharma doesn't want to give a piece of cake to others. Many appetite suppressing pills (yet without sibutramine, but containing other chemical drugs which may be even more harmful) are being sold in the United States, produced by big pharmaceutical corporations.
