+TWEET| Sascha Fitness defends itself against the controversy of its products in Colombia

Some of the products offered on the Sascha Fitness Col portal, a company owned by the Venezuelan businesswoman Sascha Barboza, were classified as ‘fraudulent’ by Invima (National Institute for Food and Drug Surveillance). After the warning, that same entity ordered to withdraw them from the market. These are dietary supplements that, according to the agency, do not have their respective health registration, so their sale is illegal. What is behind the investigation?

What Sascha promises with her dietary supplements is to improve the functioning of the immune system and increase energy levels in the body. Likewise, within the objectives of consuming them is to improve digestion.

In June, however, Invima warned of the lack of veracity in these products. According to what Semana magazine learned, thanks to the testimony of a source from the Directorate of Medicines, it was the arrival of an anonymous complaint that caused the entity to put Barboza under the magnifying glass.

For this reason, on the morning of Sunday, June 11, Barboza published a thread of trills in which he explained what he feels is behind the investigations against him.

I’m going to open a thread on a topic that is beginning to emerge about something that happened 3 years ago and that they want to distort and continue the campaign of attack and defamation that they carry out. This message is for people who really follow me and can get confused.

Barboza assured that his products have all the requirements to be sold in the country up to date. In his Twitter account he wrote: “We have all the Invima permits and records, in fact since October 2019 with a validity of 5 years, I have all the supports of said documentation and health records.”

“I think they should write things better, not even the photograph of the product they have in this tweet is the product in question they are talking about. The irregularities can come from the black market, or from the plagiarism of products, but the legal import of my products with my official distributor has everything in order and as it should be, ”he wrote in his profile.

In his Twitter thread, he also explained the reason for choosing his flavors, the chemicals and other ingredients found in his products.

And if the way the threads are in my profile confuses you, here are the images where I wrote it. pic.twitter.com/8Bqsckq75K

In addition to this, she thanked her followers for supporting her and letting her express herself in the face of the controversy.

Those who really follow me and pay attention, those who know me, do not fall for the lies, sensationalism and defamation. And it is thanks to those people that I am where I am and I greatly appreciate all the support and affection that they have given me during these difficult and absurd days. THANK YOU ❤️
