What is a drug? Here’s what the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said to Ancestral Supplements in April 2025.
“This letter is to advise you that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed your website at http://ancestralsupplements.com in March 2025 and has found that you take orders there for Ancestral Grassfed Beef Thyroid. Various claims and statements made on your website and/or in other labeling establish that this product is a drug as defined in 21 U.S.C. § 321(g)(1)(B) because it is intended for the treatment, cure, mitigation, or prevention of disease. For example, your website recommends or suggests the use of Ancestral Grassfed Beef Thyroid to treat or prevent hypothyroidism and Grave’s disease. As explained further below, the introduction of this product into interstate commerce for such uses violates the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.”
