Nuturna International LLC
FDA and FTC jointly issued a warning letter to Nuturna International LLC (Orlando, FL) regarding its 'Diabetic Support Formula' dietary supplement. The agencies found that website and Amazon product page claims — including customer testimonials and direct marketing language — positioned the product as intended to treat, cure, or mitigate diabetes and related conditions, making it an unapproved new drug under the FD&C Act and a misbranded drug for lacking adequate directions for use. The FTC separately demanded the company cease and desist from making unsubstantiated disease-treatment claims, warning that violations could result in civil penalties of up to $43,792 per violation, consumer refunds, injunctions, or administrative cease and desist orders.
