What the regulator said
Products were often mislabelled and lacked quality guarantees. Distributing unauthorised medicines can lead to criminal proceedings, and labels such as "research chemical" do not change that. Its advice: avoid unknown sources, be wary of exaggerated claims, and be cautious of sales through social media or messaging apps.
