THURSDAY, Oct. 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) — Warning letters have been sent to five companies for illegally selling dietary supplements<\/a> that contain cesium chloride, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the agency warned consumers and health care professionals to avoid using dietary supplements<\/a> containing cesium salts, primarily cesium chloride, and in 2018 issued a warning in 2018 about significant safety risks associated with cesium chloride in compounded drugs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cesium chloride is sometimes promoted as an alternative treatment for cancer<\/a>, but no cesium-chloride-containing products have been approved by the FDA to treat cancer<\/a> or any other disease.<\/p>\n

Companies must must provide safety information about cesium-chloride to the FDA before including it in a dietary supplement. The companies that received the warning letters haven’t met this requirement, so their dietary products cannot be legally sold, the FDA said.<\/p>\n

The warning letters were issued to: American Nutriceuticals, LLC; Complete H2O Minerals<\/a>, Inc.; Daily Manufacturing, Inc.; Elemental Research, Inc. and The Mineral Store, Inc.; Essence-of-Life, LLC.<\/p>\n
