| The United States: FDA warns dietary supplement companies illegally selling products containing cesium chloride (English only) |
| |
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announces that it posted five warning letters issued to companies marketing dietary supplements containing cesium chloride. The warning letters were issued to:
- American Nutriceuticals, LLC (product: pH Balancer Plus)
- Complete H2O Minerals, Inc. (product: Ultimate Cesium Concentrate)
- Daily Manufacturing, Inc. (product: Cal II Supreme)
- Elemental Research, Inc. and The Mineral Store, Inc. (product: Cesium Plus)
- Essence-of-Life, LLC (product: Cesium Chloride Mineral Water)
In a Feb 2020 public health alert, the FDA warned consumers and health care professionals to avoid using dietary supplements containing cesium salts, primarily cesium chloride. In Jul 2018, the FDA alerted health care professionals of significant safety risks associated with cesium chloride in compounded drugs. Cesium chloride is sometimes promoted as an alternative treatment for cancer; however, no cesium chloride-containing products have been approved by the FDA to treat cancer or any other disease.
The FDA will continue to take action against dietary supplements that contain cesium chloride because of significant safety concerns (including heart toxicity and potential death) associated with this ingredient.
Please refer to the following website in FDA for details:

In Hong Kong, the above products are not registered pharmaceutical products. Related news was previously issued by FDA, and was posted on the Drug Office website on 24 Jul 2018.
