The Department of Health - Abu Dhabi has alerted the public against buying or consuming dietary supplements - Monster Rabbit Honey and King Mood - due to their harmful side-effects.

After conducting lab tests on the products, the health authority found that the manufacturers hid details of some ingredients, which is responsible for causing severe reactions, from the packaging.

They've urged those who have taken the supplements to seek immediate medical care if they experience any side-effects.

DoH strictly prohibits the circulation or usage of these two dietary supplements due to the presence of substances that can cause harmful side effects. pic.twitter.com/Q9O1Kfj0cX
