Natrol Cognium Memory
Allegations: Falsely marketing that products improve memory and contain the “#1 most clinically studied ingredient for memory” when scientific evidence does not substantiate such claims
In June 2017, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Natrol for allegedly misrepresenting that Biotin products – including Fast Dissolve and Maximum Strength varieties – will “Promote[] Healthy Hair and Strong Nails” and support energy and energy production when, according to plaintiffs, such claims are not true. According to the complaint, the general population consumes enough biotin in their daily diets and the biotin supplements are “superfluous and unneeded.” (Jensen et al v. Natrol, LLC, Case No. 17-cv-3193, N. D. CA.)
