Update on Magilim in Kenya. . .

I wrote a post a while back on my thoughts about Magilim, a product touted to be the best weightloss product out there.
Unbeknownst to me, this really got on the nerve of some dealers of the product who defended it saying that the ingredients I had posted were wrong and that the product had been certified by the Kenya Bureau of Standards.
I learnt two things today, that it is very easy to verify such claims and not to back down when you know you are right.
I talked to Kenya Bureau of Standards today and according to them, no company with the name of the producer and distributer of the product in Kenya has ANY product registered with them. When I mentioned what kind of product they said they wouldn't put a stamp on it as it is a supplement and this would fall under the pharmaceutical board. Their contacts are on the website www.kebs.org A simple phone call will confirm whether or not a product has been checked by the bureau.
Hmmmmm . . .so in actual fact, you the consumer cannot trust what ingredients are in this supplement and buy at your own risk with the false comfort of having been verified by a regulatory body.
I have one apology to make, I had implied that KEBS was not sufficiently thorough in approving this product. They are not at fault.
The threats of suit for defamation have been heard but I maintain fair comment is not defamation. I challenge the distributor to produce viable scientific evidence of the efficacy of Magilim AND certification from the correct authorities. Once this is verified, I will definitely issue an apology on this same forum. I have to thank them for the challenge, it made me seek more information. :-)
Have an active day!
