Amare Global Sued for Supplement Claims for Depression, Anxiety, and ADHD
On June 2, 2026, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sued Amare Global Holdings Inc. and three of its principals for allegedly misrepresenting that its dietary supplements marketed for children and adults could treat or cure health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD. The FTC also alleged that Amare misled seller recruits about how much they could earn as “brand partners."
Amare sells dietary supplements for children and adults, including Kids Happy Juice, Kids Mood+, and the Happy Juice Product Pack. According to the FTC complaint, Amare and its brand partners promoted these products on social media, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook, with claims that the products could improve mental conditions in children and adults, including depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Some claims described the products as “scientifically backed” or clinically proven and claimed they could treat or mitigate depression, including by reducing the risk of suicide in children.
(See ConsumerLab’s articles about supplements for depression and anxiety and supplements for ADHD.)
The FTC alleged that Amare made false, misleading, and unsubstantiated claims that its products, including Happy Juice, Kids Mood+, and Kids Happy Juice, could:
- Lower, reduce, or regulate cortisol
- Raise, increase, or normalize serotonin, dopamine, and GABA
- Cure, treat, or mitigate depression, anxiety, and ADHD
The complaint also names Shawn Talbott, Amare’s former chief science officer; Patrick Hintze, the company’s founding brand partner; and David Chung, the company’s current CEO and majority shareholder. According to the FTC, Talbott and Hintze are subject to previous FTC orders prohibiting them from making false, misleading, and unsubstantiated claims.
The FTC also alleged that Amare made deceptive earnings claims, including claims that people could earn specific amounts of money, such as $500 per month, or supplement or replace their current income, even without MLM sales experience or a large social media following.
