Based on research, use of dietary supplements can risk your health due to limited proof of its effectiveness and safety profile. Have you guys know why it should be banned? Why? Why? and Why? Well guys, let me tell you why we should ban dietary supplement in the market.

First and foremost, there a lot of negative cases reported if people consuming dietary supplements.  As I mentioned earlier, the researcher found some cases of liver injury caused by Sennomotokounou, a Chinese dietary supplement for weight reduction. Kazuhito. et. al. (20103). A 63 years old Japanese woman presented with a 2 weeks history of jaundice. She had taken Sennomotokounou for 6 weeks. Next, a 24 years old Japanese woman presented with a week history off jaundice and appetite loss. She had taken Sennomotokounou for one month.

In addition, these supplements or dietary products do not require any approval from the local drug and pharmaceutical regulating agencies monitoring body. By consuming these products, current studies showed it has been linked to adverse side effects such as stroke and other cardiovascular compliations especially to people already at risk. Munri Aliza. et. al. (2019). It's easy to find it anywhere such as at road stall and supermarket. At this point, I believe that people are easily influenced by social media, friends, and public figures. So, when they look the dietary supplement is effective to their friends, for sure they also want to try.

Lastly, Malaysia has the highest obesity prevalence in Southeast Asia. Weight loss product have become a faster more convenient
alternative to lifestyle modification toward achieving the target ideal weight yet harmful. Murni Aliza. et. al. (2019). They want to achieve a perfect body to build up self-esteem and quality of life by doing activities that normal people do. They are also want to level up their personalities and confidence level but using rapid ways to lose weight. 

In conclusion, the ban on dietary supplements will have major impact on our own lives. You don't have to be a long term user to suffer adverse reactions. While people who have been using dietary supplements for only few weeks had devastating health effects. Our life is a choice of our own. You can live healthy life by taking something natural.
