Menopause Supplements

TINA.org sent letters to 100 menopause supplement companies notifying each of them of a deceptive marketing trend that is prevalent in the industry (e.g., marketing supplements as able to treat a variety of menopausal symptoms without the necessary scientific substantiation required by the FTC or the required FDA approval) and urging each of them to review their marketing to ensure it complies with the law.

In addition, TINA.org investigated and filed regulatory complaints against two menopause supplement brands, Pharmavite’s Equelle and Alliance Pharmaceuticals’ Amberen.
