Abstract
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced warning letters to 10 companies for illegally selling dietary supplements that claim to cure, treat, mitigate or prevent depression and other mental health disorders, in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, an FDA news release stated. The warning letters were issued to: Enlifta LLC, Lifted Naturals, Mountain Peak Nutritionals, SANA Group LLC, Wholesome Wellness, Dr. Garber's Natural Solutions, ProHealth Inc., Blossom Nature LLC, FDC Nutrition Inc. and Silver Star Brands Inc. “Dietary supplements that claim to cure, treat, mitigate or prevent depression and other mental health disorders are unapproved new drugs that could potentially harm consumers who use these products instead of seeking proven treatments from qualified health care providers,” said Steven Tave, director of the Office of Dietary Supplement Programs in the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. “This is especially concerning during the ongoing pandemic, when consumers are even more susceptible to depression and mental health issues. The agency is committed to taking action to protect the public from unlawful dietary supplements.”
