Fibra Plan in Colombia: INVIMA found a false registration number

This is not just a weight-loss product with thin evidence. Colombia’s INVIMA identified the specific “Linaza Canadiense, Té Verde y Chía” product sold as Fibra Plan as fraudulent. The sanitary registration number printed on it—RSA 19320410—was false and was never issued by INVIMA. The agency says not to buy or consume it. [1]

What INVIMA found

In Sanitary Alert 213-2026, INVIMA says the case followed a complaint and inspection. It reports online claims that Fibra Plan burns fat, helps people lose weight, strengthens immunity, lowers cholesterol, triglycerides and blood glucose, and eliminates gastritis. INVIMA says those claims lacked support and authorization, and that the product was not approved as a dietary supplement. [1][2]

The promises do not establish results

The package names ground flaxseed, green tea and chia; those ingredients do not prove that this particular product removes body fat or treats gastritis, high glucose or cholesterol. NIH’s Office of Dietary Supplements says there is little scientific evidence that weight-loss supplements generally work, and that mixed formulas need product-specific evidence. That general fact sheet is not a test of Fibra Plan; it cannot certify this formula or its promises. [3]

What the alert does and does not prove

The firm conclusion is specific: INVIMA says the number on this Fibra Plan product is false, its health claims were unauthorized, and it must not be sold in Colombia. The alert does not identify a verified phone script, an upsold course, a price, or what any individual seller knew. It also does not justify treating every product containing flax, tea or chia—or every item using a similar name—as the same product.

What buyers in Colombia should do

• Do not buy or consume the exact “Linaza Canadiense, Té Verde y Chía” Fibra Plan product identified by INVIMA. [1]
• If you bought it, stop using it and keep the package, label and purchase details. Contact a health professional if you feel unwell. [1]
• Check registrations through INVIMA’s official registry and report a suspected adverse event through the authority’s official channels. [1]

Our assessment

We do not recommend this Fibra Plan product. INVIMA’s warning is concrete: the printed registration number was never issued, the health claims were not authorized, and the agency advises consumers not to buy or use it. This is not a claim that flaxseed, tea or chia are inherently harmful; it is a clear warning about this identified product and its false registration.
