Resource: FDA Consumer Warning
Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Synopsis: As part of the FDA’s effort to protect consumers, the agency issued a warning letter jointly with the Federal Trade Commission to Rat’s Army for selling unapproved products with fraudulent COVID-19 claims. The company sells “VIRUS BIOSHIELD” with misleading claims that the product can mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose or cure COVID-19 in people. Consumers concerned about COVID-19 should consult with their health care provider.
Comment: Virus Bioshield contains thymosin alpha pharmaceutical grade immune booster with anti-viral properties. Thymosin Alpha 1 (TA1) is a peptide, or small protein, produced naturally by the thymus gland. The thymus is where immune cells known as T cells mature and are released when prompted to do so by the TA1 peptide.
