TOTAL BODY FORMULA AND TOTAL BODY MEGA FORMULA RECALLED

Total Body Formula and Total Body Mega Formula dietary supplements were recalled because they have been reported to contain hazardous amounts of selenium and chromium. A Pennsylvania Department of Health April 14, 2008 Press Release warned consumers not to use these products because selenium and chromium are needed only in small amounts for good health.

Severe adverse reactions have been reported, including nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, muscle cramps, joint pain and fatigue. These symptoms can be followed by significant hair loss, nail brittleness and neurological abnormalities, such as numbness and other odd sensations in the hands, arms, legs or feet, as well as kidney and liver dysfunction.

Total Body Formula in 8 and 32-ounce bottles (in tropical orange and peach nectar flavors) and Total Body Mega Formula in 32-ounce bottles (in orange/tangerine flavor) have been voluntarily recalled by Total Body Essential Nutrition based in Atlanta, Georgia. Total Body Formula is marketed as a "powerful combination of Vitamins, Colloidal Minerals, Amino Acids, Essential Fatty Acids and Antioxidants scientifically designed in a great tasting liquid formula to meet today's nutritional requirements for maintaining energy and sustaining health."

Consumers who have been using Total Body Formula and/or Total Body Mega Formula and have experienced adverse reactions should consult their health care professional or their local poison control center. The FDA is advising consumers in all states to stop using these products immediately.
