Dear Mr. Castaneda:
This is in response to your letter to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), dated
September 6,200O. Your letter appears to be intended to be the notification required by 21
U.S.C. 343(r)(6).Qection 403(r)(6) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act))
and 21 CFR 101.93(a).
21 CFR 101.93(a)(3) requires that the notice submitted pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 343(r)(6) and
this section be signed by a responsible individual who can certify the accuracy of the
information presented and contained in the notice, and that the individual certify that the
information contained in the notice is complete and accurate, and that the notifying firm has
substantiation that the statement is truthful and not misleading. Your submission does not
meet this requirement in that the notice does not state that you, as the responsible official, are
, certifjring that the firm is in compliance with the requirements of the Act and the regulation.
Therefore, you have not complied with the notification requirement in 21 U.S.C. 343(r)(6)
and must submit a notification in accordance with 2 1 CFR 10 1.93(a).
Nonetheless, we have reviewed the information you submitted and have the following
comments. Your letter states that Tabak’s Health Products is making the following claims
for the products below:
20120 caps
“...slow down macular generation...”
“...age-related degeneration of the macula”
‘i
Chromium picolinnte
“...help maintain normal blood sugar levels”
ThinkCapsT”
“...patients...who had moderate to severe cognitive decline”

The statements for the product Heart Shieldrs’ suggest that it is intended to treat, prevent. or
cure cardiovascular diseases in that the context of the discussion is that the use of this
product improved the heart condition of the patient giving the testimonial which had resulted
in two previous heart operations.
21 U.S.C. 343(r)(6) makes clear that a statement included in labeling under the authority of
that section may not claim to diagnose. mitigate, treat. cure, or prevent a specific disease or
class of diseases. The statements that you are making for these products suggest that they are
intended to treat, prevent. or mitigate diseases. These claims do not meet the requirements of
2 1 U.S.C. 343(r)(6). These claims suggest that these products are intended for use as drugs
within the meaning of 21 U.S.C. 32 l(g)(l)(B), and that they are subject to regulation under
the drug provisions of the Act. If you intend to make claims of this nature, you should
contact FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), Office of Compliance.
HFD-3 10, 7520 Standish Place, Rockville, Maryland 20555.
The product Arthritis-Ease is described as a “all-natural homeopathic remedy.” This product
is not a dietary supplement because homeopathic products are drugs under the Act (see 21
U.S.C. 323 l(g)(TxA). E ven if the product were to be labeled as a dietary supplement, its
name (i.e., Arthritis Ease) and its claims that it “... relieve pain. Swelling. Stiffness.,” eases
“serious discomfort” associated with bone movement, “soothes inflamed, swollen. sore
joints, ” “gentle and dependable approach to arthritis pain.” and “less inflammation, less
stiffness, less pain” are not claims subject to 21 U.S.C. 343(r)(6). You should contact FDA’s
Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), Office of Compliance, at the address
given above.
Please contact us if we may be of further assistance.
