Health Canada keeps an updated table when they find "unauthorized health products that are promoted for sexual enhancement, weight loss, as a workout aid, as 'popper' or for lightening skin or treating skin conditions (such as eczema or psoriasis)."
Products that are unauthorized have not been tested by the government agency which means that they have not been assessed for safety, effectiveness and quality.
They also note that the products may contain ingredients not listed on the label and that the label may indicate a dangerous ingredient or combo of ingredients.
Be careful, folks!
