The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned the public about an unregistered stem cell product being sold online.
It said it has monitored the product Bio Stem Plus being sold with deceitful health and therapeutic claims.
The public is hereby warned against buying and using unregistered BIO STEM PLUS since it is neither an FDA-approved stem cell preparation nor an approved drug product, the FDA said.
The agency said the product claims to Naturally increase adult stem cell circulation; aids in repair of damage tissues; may assist as a helper in up to 70 known human conditions; and could decrease the effect of age
There is no scientific and clinical studies that would support or back up its health and therapeutic claims. As advertised, stem cell is to be taken orally and will not pass as a product for registration as HCT/P (human cells, tissues and cellular and tissue-based products), the FDA said in its advisory.
It added, Products containing ingredients that are taken orally, or even applied topically, cannot pass as HCT/Ps.
The FDA required all stem cell therapy products to be registered with the agency by Aug. 31. All products which failed to be registered with the FDA are considered illegal.
Products containing ingredients that are taken orally, or even applied topically, cannot pass as HCT/Ps.
The FDA has ordered its inspectors to seize all unregistered food supplements that are sold in different outlets.
