Claim: A Facebook ad promoting Ganabi Normalizer claims that the product can cure hypertension within 10 days.
Full Text
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a chronic condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently elevated. According to the American Heart Association, if left uncontrolled, it can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and other serious health complications.
Data from the World Health Organisation indicates that approximately 1.4 billion individuals between 30 and 79 years old globally lived with hypertension in 2024.
Amid the high prevalence of hypertension, particularly in Nigeria, claims about its cure have continued to circulate online.
One such claim was made by a Facebook page, Ganabi Normalizer NG, with more than 10,000 followers. On May 23, 2026, the page published a promotional video featuring a man identified as Dr John and described as a consultant cardiologist.

In the video, Dr John explained the dangers of high blood pressure and encouraged viewers to purchase Ganabi Normalizer.
“All my patients have been thanking me for recommending this high blood pressure and hypertension crusher,” he said, while holding a container of Ganabi Normalizer.
The page also posted a Facebook reel on July 5, 2025, claiming that Ganabi Normalizer could cure hypertension and high blood pressure within 10 days.
The Facebook reel features an unidentified nurse introducing the product, alongside different people giving testimonials claiming they were cured after taking Ganabi Normalizer for 10 days.
The post caption reads, ‘Are you battling with high blood pressure or hypertension?’ It’s time to take control of the natural way with Ganabi Normalizer – the trusted herbal capsule made to support your heart and overall well-being.”
A strapline displayed in the video reads: “Natural solution for hypertension & high blood pressure.”
As of August 21, 2026, the post had attracted more than 2,300 likes, 1,100 comments, 234 shares, and 181 saves.

A review of the comment section showed that several users appeared to believe the claim and asked how they could purchase the product.
In another promotional video, which was deleted during this investigation, a man, presented as a researcher, was shown standing in front of the University of Lagos’s main gate while promoting the product.
He claimed, “Ganabi Normalizer is clinically tested and proven to cure high blood pressure and prevent stroke permanently.”

The promotional videos include a call to action, encouraging viewers to click the “Order Now” button.
Other related videos can be found on Facebook here, here and here.
We fact-checked the claim because of its suspicious nature and potential health impact.
Verification
First, we searched PubMed, Google Scholar and ClinicalTrials.gov for studies on Ganabi Normalizer. We found no publicly available peer-reviewed clinical trial or study demonstrating that the product can cure hypertension, either within 10 days or permanently.

Conflicting claims and listings about Ganabi Normalizer
We clicked the website link attached to the Facebook ad. The website shows the producer, Ganabi Wellness, with an office located in Ibadan, Oyo State.
We observed that the website uses the mastheads of Nigerian national newspapers in its header, potentially creating an impression that the website is associated with or endorsed by those newspapers.
The website claims that the product is “Scientifically Proven: Backed by research. Our formula is designed to provide optimal results without compromising your health”.
It also has unverifiable testimonials from purported users, claiming the product has normalised their high blood pressure.
The website also uses high-pressure sales language urging people to buy quickly, such as “The time to act is now”, “Each moment that passes is a missed opportunity to experience the benefits” and “Original Price / Promo Price“.

We found several online listings for products bearing the name Ganabi Normalizer, although the descriptions, prices, ingredients and sellers vary.
For instance, the product is listed on Jiji.ng, a Nigerian online marketplace, by DCL NutraHealth and Wellness as a heart and cardiovascular system supplement.
Also, on Konga, another online shopping platform, Ganabi Normalizer is listed by Recs-Medix Store as an herbal capsule, with the claim that it targets the underlying causes of hypertension, such as stress, diet, blood vessel function, inflammation, or excess sodium. The listings do not portray the product as a permanent cure for hypertension.
Contrary to the promotions framing the product as a cure, Recs-Medix, on its website, attached a disclaimer to the product that:
“This product is a dietary/herbal supplement. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual results may vary.”
Under the “What Does Ganabi Normalizer Not Do?” section, Recs-Medix also states that “Ganabi NM Normalizer is a herbal supplement, not a medicine, and it is not a treatment or cure for high blood pressure, insomnia, heart disease or any medical condition. It supports general wellness within a healthy lifestyle and is not a substitute for prescribed care or professional medical advice.”
Other websites here and here also listed Ganabi Normalizer as a supplement for calmness and general wellness with different ingredients and prices.
Marketer says product cures hypertension in three to six months, not 10 days
To corroborate the Recs-Medix website’s information and confirm that the product marketed by different stores is the same, we contacted Recs-Medix via the phone number listed on its website.
During our chat with the marketer on August 25, 2026, the marketer confirmed that the Ganabi Normalizer advertised on Facebook is the same product sold by online stores.
Contrary to what was stated on Recs-Medix’s website, the marketer said that the product cures high blood pressure when taken consistently for three to six months.
Screenshots from our WhatsApp conversation with the Recs-Medix marketer.
Recs-Medix’s website describes Ganabi Normalizer only as a “wellness” product, yet its own marketer told us via WhatsApp that it cures hypertension.
The contradictory information suggests that the Facebook advert is a bait to lure people to the product.
Meta Ad Library shows paid ads with shifting cure claims
A keyword search of Meta’s Ad Library, a public database of ads running across Facebook, Instagram and other Meta platforms, returned approximately 63 results for “Ganabi” in Nigeria. The ads were attributed to the Ganabi Normalizer NG page with the tag “Sponsored,” confirming these are paid advertisements rather than organic posts.

The ads, which were launched between 2025 and 2026, link to two almost identical websites, ganabiwellness.com.ng and d31herbs.com.ng.
The ads themselves make claims that are, in places, more aggressive than those already examined in this report. They contradict one another on how quickly the product works. They include:
- “Lower Your Blood Pressure Permanently In Just 5 Nights!” (Library ID 769807089325614, running since August 16, 2025);
- “Lowers High BP in 5 Nights”, which appears on several ad thumbnails;
- “Say Goodbye To High BP Forever” (Library ID 1357142425583819, running since May 24, 2025); and
- “100% BP Solution” (Library ID 2429890117372907, running since April 26, 2025).
Five nights, 10 days, three to six months and “forever” cannot all be true of the same product. Running several mutually exclusive timeframes across different ads points to marketing designed to drive quick purchases rather than to describe how the product actually works.
Regulatory status of the product
Ganabi Normalizer carries National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) registration number A7-102252L, as listed on the product’s container and on marketers’ websites.
We attempted to verify the product’s registration on NAFDAC’s Greenbook database on July 25, 2026, but found no matching record. We contacted NAFDAC through its Suspect and Falsified (SF) portal to enquire about the product’s authenticity.
Attachment of email from NAFDAC
As of the time of publication, the agency had not responded or confirmed the product’s registration or authenticity.
We further searched the NAFDAC Automated Product Administration and Monitoring System (NAPAMS), used for product verification. We confirmed that Ganabi NM Herbal Capsule, manufactured by Destma Wellness, is registered on the platform with a registration number A7-102252L.
The manufacturer’s name on NAPAMS differs from the manufacturer name given on the product’s own website and by its marketer, both of whom identified the producer as Ganabi Wellness.
The record identifies it as an “Herbal and Nutraceuticals” product, with an approval date of September 25, 2024, and an expiry date of September 24, 2026.
Screenshot of the search result on NAPAMS using NAFDAC No: A7-102252L
The NAPAMS record does not state that the product cures hypertension or that it can cure the condition within 10 days.
Corroborating this, Section 21 of NAFDAC’s Drug and Related Products Advertisement Regulations 2019 prohibits advertising a drug or related product as a treatment, prevention or cure for diseases specified in the Schedule to the regulations. Schedule 1 of the regulations specifically lists high blood pressure among the diseases covered by the restriction.
Who are the characters in the Facebook ads?
We observed that the Facebook advertisements relied heavily on purported experts and testimonials to validate the product’s credibility. We investigated these individuals’ identities.
Keyframes of Dr John and the unidentified nurse were extracted from the promotional videos for reverse image search on Yandex Images, TinEye and Google Reverse Image Search. We found no matches. The keyframes were also run through Hive Detect, an AI detection tool, which flagged the images as likely AI-generated with a confidence score of > 95%.

What do experts say?
The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) in the United States, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to kidney disease awareness, prevention, and treatment, stated that hypertension has no cure and the condition can be effectively controlled through an individualised treatment plan.
Similarly, the American Heart Association (AHA) noted that while there is currently no cure for hypertension, lifestyle changes, regular monitoring, and appropriate medical treatment can help people manage the condition and reduce the risk of complications.
The WHO warns that substandard and falsified medical products can result in treatment failure and other health risks, particularly when people obtain medical products from unauthorised or unreliable sources.
The current evidence-based approach to hypertension management involves regular blood-pressure monitoring, healthy lifestyle changes and appropriate medical treatment. The WHO recommends measures such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active and taking prescribed medicines as directed.
According to the Nigerian Hypertension Society, hypertension cannot be cured, and people with the condition need lifelong treatment. The report further warns against relying on natural agents as alternatives to hypertension medicines.
Conclusion
The claim that Ganabi Normalizer can cure hypertension in 10 days is false. Major health authorities state that hypertension has no cure and requires ongoing management through lifestyle measures, monitoring and, where necessary, medication. Meta’s Ad Library shows the product has been marketed through paid ads making several contradictory claims about how fast it works: five nights, 10 days, and three to six months, a pattern consistent with deceptive advertising rather than a genuine treatment timeline.
The videos also feature purported medical experts and product users whose footage was flagged as AI-generated by an AI-detection tool, and whose identities could not be verified through reverse image search. Fabricated endorsements and shifting, unsubstantiated cure claims are red flags typical of online health scams. No peer-reviewed studies or clinical trials support any claim that Ganabi Normalizer can cure hypertension.
