New safety warnings: BioCeuticals’ ArmaForce bore new labelling after taste-loss complaints
Blackmores’ practitioner-only health supplement brand BioCeuticals has replaced the labelling for its botanical-based immunity product ArmaForce, after consumers complained of unknown side-effects such as taste loss.
The new labelling states clearly the dosage recommendation for the product, which is one tablet per day for a maximum of two weeks.
ArmaForce with the new labelling was out in the market in September, a BioCeuticals spokeswoman told NutraIngredients-Asia.
“BioCeuticals has taken the proactive decision to update product labels with a new safety warning,” she said. The product is currently sold from behind the counter, which means that it is only available for sale upon a pharmacist's advice.
