In an official statement on Thursday,
JFDA Director-General Nizar Muhaidat highlighted that these products were also marketed and sold in
violation of regulations, without obtaining the required special food
advertisement permits, the Jordan News Agency, Petra reported.
The revoked supplements
The three supplements that were revoked, included:
Urotrin 20 Capsules,
difort Advanced 20 Capsules, and
Tonor Mix Advanced 20 Capsules.
Urotrin 20 Capsules
According to the JFDA, Urotrin 20 Capsules was improperly
marketed, making false claims about its effectiveness in treating sexual
dysfunction and prostatitis. These claims contradict the approved product
declaration card and the product approval letter, which specifically stated
that product is authorized for urinary health purposes.
Difort Advanced 20 Capsules
Regarding the product Difort Advanced 20 Capsules, Muhaidat
said that it was inappropriately advertised and promoted, falsely asserting its
ability to control blood sugar levels, regulate glucose levels, and prevent
vision problems, hair loss, and urinary issues. However, the approved product
declaration card states that its intended purpose is to support sugar
metabolism.
Furthermore, the product Tonor Mix Advanced 20 Capsules,
which was approved for supporting sugar metabolism, was falsely promoted with
claims of stabilizing blood pressure, maintaining normal cholesterol levels,
and providing energy and vitality.
Muhaidat highlighted that the specialized technical staff at
JFDA's Special Dietary Foods Department closely monitor advertisements of
dietary supplements and special foods on social media. They scrutinize both
unapproved products and advertisements that violate regulations based on the
2017 Special Dietary Foods Approval Instructions.
