Consumer Commission Fines BigMuscles Nutrition For Misleading Health Claims

Mumbai: The consumer commission in Mumbai has deemed BigMuscles Nutrition guilty of service deficiency for using ‘unknown’ amino acids to boost protein content in one of its health supplements. This practice, known as protein-spiking, has raised serious health concerns.

The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission’s July 15 order stated that consumption of such products posed health risks, ranging from short-term side effects like headaches and nausea to long-term issues like liver damage and heart problems.

BigMuscles Nutrition was ordered to pay Rs 36,409 to the complainant for the product cost and lab testing. The commission also criticized the company for making false claims about their product and continuing misleading practices.
