This has been going on for years - more snake oil is being sold today than at any other time - if the FDA wants something to do they should crack down on all these claims being made by the OTC's OTC's should be required to perform double blinded studies to prove what they say. Right now they are making billions and need prove nothing.

There are people advertising magic crystals on ebay to "help" with cancer, magic copper strips, magic foot pads that suck the 'poisons' out of your body and detoxify you - and oh dont forget those horrible 'chemicals' (as if your body and everything around you is not a 'chemical'). I find these people to be vile taking advantage of peoples desperation to line their own pockets

STS I was referring to Pharmaepa RESTORE

but never mind .

Re Omegia Via EPA 500 .....so an obvious remedy is that they will be forced to change their labeling to

..." restore EPA levels that are deficient due to our western diet ....not intended to treat disease etc beyond the FDA notification that consumption of high quality " fish oils " supports improved cardiovascular health "

In case you missed it


The FDA now permits this statement:

“Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.”

STS Dr Nina Bailey ..PharmEPA responds

-----------------------------

Thanks for getting in touch. Our product Pharmepa RESTORE is a 90% rTG EPA that is identical to one that was formulated specifically for use in the SeaFood Polyp Prevention trial. ( my highlight )

The lead investigator of that trial was responsible for gaining the Investigation al Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD) required for the approval of the product in clinical trials by the competent authorities in the EU. The trial product was awarded the IMPD in 2014 and the study I believe is now complete with the result expected to be published next year.

Hope this clarifies things for you

Best wishes

Nina
