The reality? Most supplements don’t undergo the rigorous testing required to prove these claims.
Without clinical backing, these promises can be misleading or outright false, leading consumers to spend money on products that either don’t work or put them at risk.
The Ministry of Health – through the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Authority (NPRA) – tries their best to regulate the industry by requiring high level scientific evidence before allowing claims to be made on the product label.
However, unregistered products still make their way into e-commerce platforms or direct selling schemes and harm unsuspecting consumers.
How to Protect Yourself
When choosing supplements, it’s essential to be an informed consumer.
Here’s what to look out for:
- Transparency in ingredients: Always check the ingredient list and make sure you understand what each component does. If a company isn’t clear or doesn’t provide detailed information, that’s a red flag.
- Proof of Registration: Malaysia mandates registration of health supplements, using registration number (MAL number) and hologram sticker (FarmaTagTM) to detect counterfeit or unregistered products. Look out for these on the product packaging to verify its authenticity.
- Science-backed claims: Avoid products that make extreme claims without scientific backing. Instead, choose supplements that rely on proven, clinical research to support their effectiveness.
- Trusted brands: Stick with brands that prioritize consumer safety, transparency, and quality over flashy marketing or immediate results.
