SCS Direct, Inc.
FDA issued a warning letter to SCS Direct, Inc. (CEO Howard Greenspan) regarding its dietary supplement products Uplift Max and Shred Her Max, finding both adulterated under the FD&C Act because they contain hordenine HCl, which is not a recognized dietary ingredient and is not GRAS-approved as a food additive. FDA also flagged a misrepresentation on the company's website falsely implying affiliation with Optimum Nutrition, Inc. The agency demanded written corrective action within fifteen working days and warned that failure to comply could result in seizure or injunction.
