Executive Summary
HEALTH CONNECTION SPV-30 BOXWOOD EXTRACT "MISBRANDED," FDA states in a March 5 warning letter to the Jericho, N.Y.-based dietary supplement distributor. The herbal product is misbranded "because its labeling is false and misleading since it suggests that SPV-30 is safe and effective for its intended use even though this is not the case," the letter states. Health Connection has touted SPV-30 as being able to slow the progression of HIV/AIDS.
