WEDNESDAY, Oct. 14, 2020 (HealthDay News) — Warning letters have been sent to five companies for illegally selling dietary supplements that contain cesium chloride, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, the agency warned consumers and health care professionals to avoid using dietary supplements containing cesium salts, primarily cesium chloride. The agency also issued a warning in 2018 about significant safety risks associated with cesium chloride in compounded drugs.<\/p>\n
Cesium chloride is sometimes promoted as an alternative treatment for cancer, but no cesium chloride-containing products have been approved by the FDA to treat cancer or any other disease. Companies must provide safety information about cesium chloride to the FDA before including it in a dietary supplement. The companies that received the warning letters have not met this requirement, so their dietary products cannot be legally sold, the FDA said.<\/p>\n
The warning letters were issued to American Nutriceuticals, LLC; Complete H2O Minerals, Inc.; Daily Manufacturing, Inc.; Elemental Research, Inc. and The Mineral Store, Inc.; and Essence-of-Life, LLC.<\/p>\n
