Agebox Inc.
FDA issued a warning letter to Agebox Inc. (Wang Zheng) regarding its 'iKids-Growth IGF-1 Support Day Formula' and 'iKids-Growth IGF-1 Support Night Formula' products, which were found through laboratory analysis to contain the undeclared and unapproved ingredient ibutamoren mesylate (MK-677), a growth hormone secretagogue. The products were marketed as dietary supplements for children's height growth but are classified as unapproved new drugs because ibutamoren is excluded from the dietary supplement definition and lacks FDA approval. The products are also misbranded because their labels fail to disclose the presence of ibutamoren mesylate, which can cause serious side effects. FDA warned that failure to correct violations may result in seizure and injunction.
