This is to advise you that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed your web site at the Internet address http://www.miracleinthegreen.com in November 2015 and has determined that you take orders there for the product, "Oringaa (100% Moringa Leaf Powder)." Based on our review, your website promotes Oringaa (100% Moringa Leaf Power) for conditions that cause this product to be a drug under section 201 (g)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) [21 U.S.C. § 321 (g)(1)].
The therapeutic claims on your website establish that the product is a drug because it is intended for use in the cure mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. As explained further below, introduction or delivering these products for introduction into interstate commerce for such uses violates the Act. You may find the Act and FDA regulations through links on FDA's home page at www.fda.gov.

Your product is not generally recognized as safe and effective for the above referenced uses and, therefore, this product is a "new drug" under section 201 (p) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321 (p)]. New drugs may not be legally introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without prior approval from the FDA as described in section 505(a) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 355(a)]: see also section 301(d) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 331(d)]. FDA approves a new drug on the basis of scientific data submitted by a drug sponsor to demonstrate that the drug is safe and effective.
Furthermore. your product is offered for conditions that are not amenable to self-diagnosis and treatment by individuals who are not medical practitioners; therefore adequate directions for use cannot be written so that a layperson can use these drugs safely for its intended purposes. Thus, "Oringaa (100% Moringa Leaf Powder" is misbranded within the meaning of section 502(t)(1) of the Act, in that its labeling fails to bear adequate directions for use (21 U.S.C. § 352(f)(1)]. The introduction of a misbranded drug into interstate commerce is a violation of section 301(a) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 331(a)].
The above violations are not meant to be an all-inclusive list of violations associated with your products or their labeling. It is your responsibility to ensure that products marketed by your firm comply with the Act and its implementing regulations. We advise you to review your website, product labels, and other labeling for your products to ensure that the claims you make for your products do not reflect intended uses that cause the distribution of the products to violate the Act.
You should take prompt action to correct the violations cited in this letter and prevent their future recurrence. Failure to implement lasting corrective action of these violations may result in regulatory action being initiated by FDA without further notice. The Act authorizes the seizure of illegal products and injunctions against manufacturers and distributors of those products.
Please notify this office in writing within fifteen (15) working days from your receipt of this letter as to the specific steps you have taken to correct the violations noted above and to assure that similar violations do not occur in the future. Your response should include any documentation necessary to show that correction has been achieved. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond please explain the reason for the delay and the date by which each such item will be corrected.
If you need additional information or have questions concerning any products distributed through your website, please contact the FDA. You may respond in writing to Mabel Lee at U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, 5100 Paint Brach Parkway, College Park. MD 20740 or via e-mail to mabel.lee@fda.hhs.gov. If you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Ms. Lee at 240-402-0972.
