flag UK bans prostate supplement and test ads for misleading cancer and health claims.

flag The UK’s Advertising Standards Authority has banned ads for four prostate supplements and two home testing kits for making misleading claims about treating or diagnosing prostate conditions. flag The supplements falsely implied they could address issues like enlarged prostate or urinary problems, despite not being authorized medicines. flag The testing kits wrongly suggested they could detect or rule out prostate cancer, though PSA tests alone cannot confirm cancer. flag The ASA found the claims misleading, even with disclaimers, and warned they could delay proper medical care. flag AI-powered monitoring helped identify the ads during a broader review, and the MHRA supported the action, stressing that at-home tests are not definitive and should not replace professional medical advice. flag Consumers are urged to consult healthcare providers.
