On November 14, 2022, the FDA issued a warning letter to The Truth Company, LLC (parent company of Kinobody, LLC and UMZU, LLC) following inspection of the company’s websites which found statements about its Betaine, Immune, Redwood, Sensolin, Thyrite, zuRelief, Kino Aminos, Kino Collagen Protein, and Kino Gains products to be drug claims.

For example, Betaine HCl products were promoted with statements such as, “Betaine has been shown in research to also improve... and even diabetes prevention.” Additionally, zuRelief was promoted to “reduce pain,” including a supposed statement from an MD, which says, “I am an MD and there is no product on the conventional over the counter market that approaches the combination of safety and effectiveness of zuRelief for my own joint and muscle aches.”

(See ConsumerLab’s article about UMZU’s zuPOO supplement, promoted to cleanse the gut and improve digestion.)

Several of the company’s products were also found to be misbranded because the labels did not provide adequate directions for their intended use.

The company must respond to the FDA within 15 days outlining the steps taken to address any violations.
