Passage 2Your Vitex w/ Dong Quai, Berry Well, Cranberry Power Cleanse, Tummy Tuneup, Colostrum Transfer Factor, Prostate Health—Clinical Strength, D3, Vitamin K2 + D3, Dino Bones, Dynamic Duo A + D, Liquid D3, Gentle C, CoQ10, Bio B12, Liquid B12, Bromelain, Magnesium Citrate, Omega-3, Odorless Garlic, Selenium Secure, and Biome Blast (Yeast Assassin) products are intended for treatment of one or more diseases that are not amenable to self-diagnosis or treatment without the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Therefore, it is impossible to write adequate directions for a layperson to use your products safely for their intended purposes. Accordingly, your Vitex w/ Dong Quai, Berry Well, Cranberry Power Cleanse, Tummy Tuneup, Colostrum Transfer Factor, Prostate Health—Clinical Strength, D3, Vitamin K2 + D3, Dino Bones, Dynamic Duo A + D, Liquid D3, Gentle C, CoQ10, Bio B12, Liquid B12, Bromelain, Magnesium Citrate, Omega-3, Odorless Garlic, Selenium Secure, and Biome Blast (Yeast Assassin) fail to bear adequate directions for their intended use and, therefore, the products are misbranded under section 502(f)(1) of the Act [21 U.S.C. 352(f)(1)].
