“For now it is, until they start banning it’s sale.”
So Team Q believes that onions are on the hit list?
“Quercetin is contained in abundance in apples, honey, raspberries, onions, red grapes, cherries, citrus fruits, and green leafy vegetables. Among vegetables and fruits, quercetin content is highest in onions. The bulb color and type seems to be a determining factor for quercetin concentration in onions.”
Are you just being snarky or do you see the sarcasm in the comment?
Are you aware that the FDA sent warning letters in July 2020 to companies selling NAC products (see here, here, here, here), declaring them to be illegal dietary supplements?
From the FDA letters:
Based on the product label on your website, it appears that you intend to market your Hangover Heaven Nightlife Prep Supplement product, which contains N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), as a dietary supplement. However, even if your product labeling did not have therapeutic claims that make your product an unapproved new drug, your product could not be a dietary supplement, because it does not meet the definition of dietary supplement under section 201(ff) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(ff)]. FDA has concluded that NAC products are excluded from the dietary supplement definition under section 201(ff)(3)(B)(i) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(ff)(3)(B)(i)]. Under this provision, if an article (such as NAC) has been approved as a new drug under section 505 of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 355], then products containing that article are outside the definition of a dietary supplement, unless before such approval that article was marketed as a dietary supplement or as a food. NAC was approved as a new drug under section 505 of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 355] on September 14, 1963. FDA is not aware of any evidence that NAC was marketed as a dietary supplement or as a food prior to that date.
Are you aware that this scared GNC into removing NAC supplements from their stores?
Are you aware that two nutrition groups petitioned the FDA to reverse their position that NAC is not a dietary supplement?
Can you see why people might be joking that Quercetin might be next if they believe that the FDA might be protecting the vaccines by suppressing potential COVID-19 readily available therapeutics?
