FDA Warns Seller of Magnesium, CBD, Herbal Extracts & More
On February 9, 2022, the FDA issued a warning letter to Bea Lydecker’s Naturals, Inc. following an inspection of the company’s product labels, catalogs, brochures, and website which found statements made about the company’s CBD Oil, Silver, Copper, Magnesium, Herbal Extract, and other products to be drug claims.

In addition, Herbal Extract, Herbal Comound, and Immune products were promoted to treat COVID-19 . For example, the company’s Living Free Herbal Extract brochure stated, “YOU DON’T HAVE TO FEAR COVID 19 IF YOU HAVE THE HERBAL EXTRACT ON HAND. IT KILLS ANY VIRUS NO MATTER WHAT IT IS. ANY DOCTOR OR HEALTH CARE WORKER SHOULD KEEP THIS PRODUCT ON HAND.” Other statements such as “To ward off or kill this new strain of Corona I am advising everyone to increase their intake to two capsules per day [of Herbal Compound] or if on the liquid, take 6 to 7 drops a day.” promoted Herbal Compound products to treat COVID-19 on the company’s website.
