Greece’s National Organization for Medicines (EOF) has issued a warning to consumers about WELLNEXIS SUPER COMPLEX, a product sold online with a range of health claims.
Online advertisements promote the product as potentially helping to relieve joint pain and swelling, support cardiovascular health and address erectile dysfunction, among other claimed benefits.
However, the EOF says WELLNEXIS SUPER COMPLEX is not an approved pharmaceutical product. The product has also not received the required notification to legally circulate as a food supplement.
As a result, the EOF has not assessed the product for either safety or effectiveness.
The agency also says websites in Greece appear to advertise and illegally distribute the product online. Authorities have not identified the company responsible for marketing or distributing it in the Greek market.
The lack of official approval or notification forms the basis of the EOF’s warning. Consumers therefore have no official assurance about the product’s ingredients or its safety.
What should consumers who bought it do?
The EOF urges consumers to exercise particular caution with products promoted online with claims of therapeutic effects or other significant health benefits.
Anyone who has purchased WELLNEXIS SUPER COMPLEX should not use it, the agency advises.
The EOF also asks anyone who has the product in their possession to contact the organization immediately, allowing the relevant authorities to receive the necessary information and take appropriate action.
