*****FDA Information*****

MedWatch - The FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program

FDA notified healthcare professionals and consumers of the seizure of
Ellagimax capsules, Coral Max capsules, Coral Max without Iron capsules, and Advanced Arthritis Support capsules distributed by Advantage Nutraceuticals, LLC, because the products, labeled as dietary supplements, are being promoted to treat serious disease conditions, including but not limited to cancer, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and seizures.  The products have not been shown to be safe and effective to treat these conditions and have not been approved by the FDA and are therefore in violation of the new drug and misbranding provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

FDA advises consumers who may be taking these products to consult their physicians.
