Seasilver

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Seasilver is a liquid dietary supplement that was marketed as a cure-all product. It was promoted as a product that could provide nutritional support to the body's five main systems: the digestive system, the immune system, the respiratory system, the circulatory system, and the endocrine system. However, the product has been the subject of controversy and legal action due to unsupported health claims.

History[edit | edit source]

Seasilver was created by Brett Rademacher and Jason Rhode. The product was marketed by Seasilver USA, Inc., a company based in Carlsbad, California. The company claimed that Seasilver could treat or cure a variety of health conditions, including cancer, diabetes, and arthritis. However, these claims were not supported by scientific evidence.

In 2003, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) took action against Seasilver USA, Inc. for making false and misleading health claims about Seasilver. The company was ordered to stop making these claims and to provide refunds to consumers who had purchased the product.

Composition[edit | edit source]

Seasilver contained a blend of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and herbs. The product also contained aloe vera, pau d'arco, and cranberry concentrate. However, the exact composition of Seasilver was not disclosed by the company.
