Rospotrebnadzor has blocked more than 19 thousand websites with banned dietary supplements

More than 19 thousand Internet resources with information about the sale of prohibited biologically active additives (dietary supplements) have been blocked in Russia. This was announced on June 22 by the press service of Rospotrebnadzor.

"Rospotrebnadzor specialists continue to identify and block online resources that disseminate information about the retail sale of biologically active additives (dietary supplements), the sale of which is prohibited in Russia. According to the results of the decisions taken by the department, a total of 19.2 thousand such sites were blocked," the release on the agency's website says.

As indicated in Rospotrebnadzor, among the identified products were additives that had not passed state registration, as well as goods containing substances in excess of established standards. In addition, potentially dangerous dietary supplements were offered to customers on a number of sites.

The supervisory authority stressed that monitoring of online stores, product cards and advertisements is conducted on an ongoing basis. Employees of the department check the resources daily for information about the sale of prohibited products.

Russians were advised to purchase dietary supplements only from official suppliers and check for registration documents. If a counterfeit is found, citizens are advised to contact the territorial bodies of Rospotrebnadzor.

The trainer is a partner of the DDX Fitness fitness club network. Elizaveta Romanikhina told Izvestia on March 2 that dietary supplements are useful in practice in case of vitamin deficiency in the body. However, they do not replace a regular active lifestyle and full recovery, but on the contrary require proper combination.

According to the expert, the key strategy is not to make drastic changes, but to build a stable regime. Regular physical activity remains one of the most reliable non-drug ways to strengthen the immune system. These are not necessarily high-intensity workouts: moderate strength training, cardio, functional training, as well as daily walks are suitable.
