Concerns have been raised about the weight loss supplement named Genius, owned by a well-known celebrity couple, due to allegedly unrealistic weight loss claims. Atchariya Ruangrattanapong, head of the Crime Victims Assistance Club lodged a complaint with the Central Investigation Bureau this morning. He questioned the product's promise that users could shed more than 10 kilograms in just two months, calling such a claim unlikely given the ingredients listed on the product's packaging. This could be a breach of advertising laws.

 

Atchariya himself took the supplement and experienced side effects like sleep problems and excessive thirst. As a result, he submitted a sample of the product to the police for testing at the Department of Scientific Services, with the aim to ensure it is safe for consumers.

 

Atchariya further claims to have evidence the celebrities had their fat dissolved at a clinic in the Lat Phrao area and their weight loss was not actually due to the product. This allegation raises further doubts about Genius' effectiveness for weight loss. The information provided by Atchariya is under review and will play a key role in the ensuing investigation.

 

The event has sparked worry among people who rely on endorsements from celebrities to choose health products. It emphasizes need stricter regulation in the dietary supplement market to protect public health.

Anyone who relies upon celebrity endorsements is clearly an imbecile.  Should the authorities do anything to protect imbeciles?

If the claims are false the product shouldn't even be on the market

Thai TV is full of ads for products that are obviously false, like vitamins that give you 20/20 eyesight.

If only a celeb could come up with a pill for common sense, now that would be a winner

"Truth in advertising" is a joke in Thailand, advertisers seem to be allowed to make any kind of false claims they like.

Some believe in God, some in weight loss pills, and some in money. 

So what?🤗

another pill with tape worm or something?

 

eat all you want, the worm will eat it
