Financial crime evolves, and HSBC wants to help keep you safe.
Have your doubts about this brain supplement, based on a disclaimer on a webpage where it's sold.
In the same way you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, you really shouldn’t judge a dietary supplement by anything above the disclaimer at the bottom of the webpage where it is sold. While the latter proverb (if you’ll allow us to call it that) may not hold the same ring as the former, it carries the same truth.
Case in point: This webpage pitching Cellusyn Neuro-HD, BrainHealthDirect.com’s top rated brain supplement of 2014. The page is rampant with purported positive health benefits regarding Cellusyn Neuro-HD. Among them are claims that the product can “boost memory and focus,” “reduce stress and anxiety,” and “increase cognition.”
But keep scrolling down and at the very bottom of the page you’ll find a disclaimer stating that none of what’s proclaimed above has been evaluated by the FDA and that, despite all the rosy health claims, “these products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.” In fact, the disclaimer continues, the information on the page “is intended for your general knowledge only.” The disclaimer goes on to say one should always seek the opinion of his or her physician, yadda yadda yadda.
In contrast to prescription drugs, dietary supplements such as Cellusyn Neuro-HD are not held to the same intense scrutiny by government agencies. That’s why it’s important to question any product that makes amazing health claims along with consulting your physician.
