Read what is being offered around the label
In warning letters dated March and August 2026, the FDA described water sold for dissolving research-labelled products to prepare a shot. Selling them together was a sign, it said, that the products were meant for people to inject.
The letters make the FDA's claims about specific businesses; they are not court rulings.
For care, ask a doctor or another licensed health worker who treats patients to review your health and explain the exact product. Do not treat research wording as a care plan.
