Additional official information
Background{"text":"The product Flat Stomach, a product contained within the Flat Stomach Concept Extra kit, has been authorized for sale by Health Canada under NPN 80004927 for the purposes of relieving occasional constipation and maintaining intestinal flora. However, as part of the conditions of market authorization, the product label was to include a cautionary statement advising consumers to first consult a health care practitioner if they intended to use the product for more than 5 days. It is important to note that this statement was not included on the label of the marketed product, which contravened the conditions of market authorization and also presented potentially severe risks to the health and safety of Canadians following long-term use. Stimulant laxatives should not be taken for more than 1-2 weeks unless under the supervision of a health care practitioner. Chronic use of aloe products can irreversibly damage the intestine, and disturb electrolyte balances, leading to irregularities in heartbeats, muscular weakness, kidney failure and even death. The product Flat Stomach also contains a diuretic ingredient, which may increase the potential for adverse effects on blood electrolyte levels."}
