On August 16, 2017, the FDA issued a warning letter to Total Nutrition, Inc., following a facility inspection which found some of the company's products, including Aller Ease, Inflam Ease, Airway Clear, Osteo-Gest, Green Energy, Arth-Support, "Cold & Flu" products Olive Leaf Extract, Astragalus Root, and Elderberry Sambucus, "Asthma Clear" products Aller Ease and Airway Clear, and "Inflammation & Pain Relief" products Tart Cherry, Tumeric Curcumin, and Napro-Zyn With Tumeric, Bromelain, and Boswellia to be adulterated because they were prepared, packed, or held under conditions that violate Current Good Manufacturing Practices for dietary supplements.

These violations include failure to implement quality control operations to ensure the quality of dietary supplements, as required by federal regulations.

In addition, statements made about the products on labels and in marketing materials were found to be drug claims. For example, Aller Ease claims to contain "antihistamines." 

(See ConsumerLab.com's Answer about supplements for seasonal allergies.)

Arth-Support claims to "[contain] ingredients that are key structural components in cartilage and play important roles in the maintenance of joint cartilage where arthritis may be found." 

(See ConsumerLab.com's Review of Supplements for Joint Health for more information about osteoarthritis.)

Osteo-Gest claims to be "a state-of-the-art, bone-building osteoporosis support formula..." 

(See ConsumerLab.com's Review of Vitamin D Supplements for more information about bone health.)
