This article was originally published in The Tan Sheet
Executive Summary
Source Naturals was sent a June 18 FDA "courtesy" letter for making drug claims for Chem-Defense, a sublingual dietary supplement. The advisory letter states two claims - "For persons with chemical sensitivities" and "For chemically sensitive individuals" - suggest the product "is intended to treat, cure, prevent or mitigate disease," and is therefore a drug. Dietary supplements for multiple chemical sensitivities, or MCS, are relatively rare.
