Following a popular soy sauce brand getting pulled from shelves in the UAE last week due to a presence of alcohol, and 149 slimming products banned in Abu Dhabi, Dubai Municipality has now warned against the adverse health affects of 11 types of slimming, healthy and sexual supplements.

A government representative told Gulf News the ingredients were banned due to the serious side effects they cause and because none of the products were registered with the Municipality. 

The products contain ingredients which are approved for prescription drugs and are dangerous if consumed by anyone not under the correct medical supervision.

Some of the ingredients of the following products are banned globally
