The FDA has observed that you offer products marketed on your firm’s website as selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) including, but not limited to, “LGD-4033” (also referred to on your website as “Ligandrol”), “RAD-140” (also referred to on your website as “Testolone”), “MK-677” (also referred to on your website as “Ibutamoren”), and “S-23” (hereinafter products marketed as SARMs) for sale in the United States. Based on our review, these products are unapproved new drugs under section 505(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 355(a). As explained further below, introducing or delivering these products for introduction into interstate commerce violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).FDA has safety concerns about products that contain SARMs. Life-threatening reactions, including liver toxicity, have occurred in people taking products containing SARMs. SARMs also have the potential to increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.1Despite statements on your product labeling marketing some of your products as a “RESEARCH COMPOUND” and “NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION,” evidence obtained from your product labeling, including your website, establishes that your products are intended to be drugs for human use. Based on a review of your website, your products marketed as SARMs are drugs under section 201(g)(1) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1), because they are intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and/or intended to affect the structure or any function of the body. Examples from your product labeling, including on your website, that provide evidence of the intended use (as defined in 21 CFR 201.128) of these products as drugs include, but may not be limited to, the following:LGD-4033 LigandrolOn the webpage https://primesportsnutrition.com/products/lgd-4033-galactic-plus:“Looking To Build Lean Mass And Improving Strength While Maximizing Your Fat Loss Potential. LGD-4033 Has You Covered. LGD Is A Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM) That Usually Goes By The Name Ligandrol. It’s Known For Its Muscle Mass And Strength Increasing Properties That Actually Don’t Come With The Anabolic Side Effects. This Is What Makes It So Popular With Bodybuilders And Athletes. Ligandrol Acts Similar To An Anabolic Based Substance. It Has The Ability To Rapidly Increase Muscle Mass While Reducing Overall Body Fat. Increased Muscle Mass And An Increase In Strength Are Both Results Of The Selective Activation Of Androgen Receptors In The Muscles.”“KEY BENEFITSo Improves Muscle Masso Improve Staminao Burns Body Fato Boosts Testosterone”RAD-140 TestoloneOn the webpage https://primesportsnutrition.com/products/galactic-plus-duo-mk677-rad140-1?_pos=4&_sid=9711d0e06&_ss=r:“RAD140 + MK677 is A Very Popular Pairing.”“Many Across The World Are Admiring RAD-140 For Countless Reasons.

If You’re Looking For Grainy-Looking Muscles, Then You Should Definitely Consider S-23.”“KEY BENEFITSo Muscle Mass Increaseo Fat Losso Increased Enduranceo Recover Times Are Shorter.”Your products marketed as SARMs are “new drugs” under section 201(p) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(p), because they are not generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) for use under the above-described conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in their labeling. With certain exceptions not applicable here, a new drug may not be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without an approved application from FDA in effect, as described in section 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355(a). No approved applications pursuant to section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355, are in effect for these products. Accordingly, these products are unapproved new drugs. The introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of these unapproved new drug products violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).ConclusionThe violations cited in this letter are not intended to be an all-inclusive statement of violations that may exist in connection with your products. You are responsible for investigating and determining the causes of any violations and for preventing their recurrence or the occurrence of other violations. It is your responsibility to ensure that your firm complies with all requirements of federal law, including FDA regulations.This letter notifies you of our concerns and provides you an opportunity to address them. Failure to adequately address this matter may lead to regulatory or legal action including, without limitation, seizure and injunction.Please notify FDA in writing, within fifteen working days of receipt of this letter, of the specific steps you have taken to correct any violations. Include an explanation of each step being taken to prevent the recurrence of violations, as well as copies of related documentation. If you believe that your products are not in violation of the FD&C Act, include your reasoning and any supporting information for our consideration. If you cannot complete corrective action within fifteen working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which you will complete the correction.Your response should be sent to U.S. Food and Drug Administration, CDER/OC/Office of Unapproved Drugs and Labeling Compliance by email to FDAAdvisory@fda.hhs.gov.

FDA has reviewed the records you submitted in response to our April 28, 2025 request and subsequent correspondence, for records and other information pursuant to section 704(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) for your facility, Guangdong Renhe Guozhuang Biotechnology Co., Ltd, FEI 3030384816 at No. 5, Tongfu Road, Xicheng Industrial Area, Renhe Town, Baiyun District, Guangzhou Guangdong, China.This warning letter summarizes significant violations of Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations for finished pharmaceuticals. See Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations, parts 210 and 211 (21 CFR, parts 210 and 211).Because your methods, facilities, or controls for manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding of drugs as described in your response to our 704(a)(4) request do not conform to CGMP, your drug products are adulterated within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B)).Following review of records and other information provided pursuant to section 704(a)(4) of the FD&C Act, significant violations were observed including, but not limited to, the following1. Your firm failed to have, for each batch of drug product, appropriate laboratory determination of satisfactory conformance to final specifications for the drug product, including the identity and strength of each active ingredient, prior to release. Your firm also failed to conduct, for each batch of drug product, appropriate laboratory testing, as necessary, required to be free of objectionable microorganisms (21 CFR 211.165(a) and 211.165(b)).Your firm manufactures over-the-counter (OTC) drug products including sterile(b)(4). Based on the records and information you provided, you did not demonstrate that you adequately test your OTC finished drug products prior to release for distribution to the United States.In your initial response, you state that you test each batch of your finished drug products before release. On June 23, 2025, FDA specifically requested that you provide the test data; however, in response to this request, you failed to provide the requested information to demonstrate that your finished products are tested prior to release.Full release testing, including for identity, strength, and impurities, must be performed prior to drug release and distribution. Without adequate testing, there is no scientific evidence to assure that your drug products conform to appropriate specifications before release.In response to this letter, provide:A list of chemical and microbial specifications, including test methods, used to analyze each lot of your drug products before a batch disposition decision.o An action plan and timelines for conducting full chemical and microbiological testing of reserve samples to determine the quality of all batches of drug product distributed to the United States that are within expiry as of the date of this letter.o A summary of all results obtained from testing reserve samples from each batch. If such testing reveals substandard quality drug products, take rapid corrective actions, such as notifying customers and product recalls.A comprehensive, independent assessment of your laboratory practices, procedures, methods, equipment, documentation, and analyst competencies. Based on this review, provide a detailed plan to remediate and evaluate the effectiveness of your laboratory system.2. Your firm failed to conduct at least one test to verify the identity of each component of a drug product (21 CFR 211.84(d)(1)).Based on the records and information you provided, you did not demonstrate that you adequately performed identity testing on incoming components including, but not limited to,(b)(4), which are at high-risk of(b)(4)contamination. Identity testing for these and certain other high-risk drug components includes a limit test in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) to ensure that the component meets the relevant safety limits for levels of(b)(4). Because you did not perform sufficient identity testing, you failed to assure the acceptability of these components for use in manufacture of your drug products.The use of ingredients contaminated with(b)(4)has resulted in various lethal poisoning incidents in humans worldwide. See FDA’s guidance document(b)(4).In your initial response, you state that you or your contract laboratory performed identity testing on each shipment of each lot of components before they were released for use in manufacturing. On June 23, 2025, FDA specifically requested that you provide the test data; however, in response to this communication you failed to provide any records demonstrating that you tested your incoming components before use in manufacturing.Without adequate testing, you do not have scientific evidence that incoming components conform to appropriate specifications prior to use in the manufacture of your drugs. As a manufacturer, you have a responsibility to sample, test, and examine incoming materials before use in production to assure adequate quality.In response to this letter, provide:A commitment to provide(b)(4)test results, no later than 30 calendar days from the date of this letter, from testing retains for all lots of high-risk drug components used in the manufacture of drug products. Alternatively, if a retain of a component lot is unavailable, perform retain sample testing of all implicated finished drug product batches for the presence of(b)(4).A full risk assessment for drug products that are within expiry which contain any ingredient at risk for(b)(4)contamination (including, but not limited to,(b)(4)). Take prompt and appropriate actions to determine the safety of all lots of the component(s) and any related drug product that could contain(b)(4), including customer notifications and product recalls for any contaminated lots. Identify additional appropriate corrective actions and preventive actions that secure supply chains in the future, including, but not limited to, ensuring that all incoming raw material lots are from fully qualified manufacturers and free from unsafe impurities. Detail these actions in your response to this letter.A comprehensive, independent review of your material system to determine whether all suppliers of incoming materials are each qualified and the materials are assigned appropriate expiration or retest dates. The review should also determine whether incoming material controls are adequate to prevent use of unsuitable materials.The chemical and microbiological quality control specifications you use to test and release each incoming lot of components for use in manufacturing.A description of how you will test each incoming material lot for conformity with all appropriate specifications for identity. If you intend to accept any results from your supplier’s certificate of analysis (COA) instead of testing each incoming material lot for other tests, specify how you will ensure that you have adequate evidence to establish that the supplier consistently provides material meeting specifications. In addition, include a commitment to always conduct at least one specific identity test for each incoming material lot.A summary of results obtained from testing all incoming materials to evaluate the reliability of the COA from each incoming materials manufacturer. Include your standard operating procedure that describes this COA validation program.A summary of your program for qualifying and overseeing contract facilities that test the drugs you manufacture.3. Your firm failed to establish adequate written procedures for production and process control designed to assure that the drug products you manufacture have the identity, strength, quality, and purity they purport or are represented to possess (21 CFR 211.100 (a)).Lack of Process ValidationIn your response, you stated that no validation activities have been performed for your drug products.Process validation evaluates the soundness of design and state of control of a process throughout its lifecycle. Each significant stage of a manufacturing process must be designed appropriately and assure the quality of raw material inputs, in-process materials, and finished drugs. Process qualification studies determine whether an initial state of control has been established. Successful process qualification studies are necessary before commercial distribution. Thereafter, ongoing vigilant oversight of process performance and product quality is necessary to ensure you maintain a stable manufacturing operation throughout the product lifecycle.See FDA’s guidance for industryProcess Validation: General Principles and Practicesfor general principles and approaches that the FDA considers appropriate elements of process validation at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/process-validation-general-principles-and-practices.Inadequate(b)(4)SystemIn your initial response, you state that you qualified your(b)(4)system. On June 23, 2025, FDA specifically requested that you provide the test data; however, in response to this communication you failed to provide any records demonstrating that the(b)(4)system has been qualified or appropriately tested. Also, it appears that you do not perform adequate chemical or microbiological analysis to determine suitability of or monitor the(b)(4)generated for use in drug manufacturing.(b)(4)is an ingredient in your drug products.(b)(4)must be suitable for its intended use and routinely tested to ensure ongoing conformance with appropriate chemical and microbiological attributes. See FDA’s(b)(4)In response to this letter, provide:A timeline for performing appropriate process performance qualification for each of your marketed drug products. Also include an explanation how you will ensure proper satisfactory process performance qualification studies are performed prior to future distribution of any drug products.Your process performance protocol(s) and written procedures for qualification of equipment and facilities.A(b)(4)system validation report. Also include the summary of any improvements made to system design and to the program for ongoing control and maintenance.A procedure governing your program for ongoing control, maintenance, and monitoring that ensures the remediated system consistently produce(b)(4)that meets(b)(4)USP monograph specifications and appropriate microbiological limits. Include action/alert limits for total counts and objectionable organisms used for your(b)(4)system.A procedure for your(b)(4)system monitoring that specifies routine chemical and microbiological testing of(b)(4)to ensure its acceptability for use in each batch of drug products produced by your firm. Ensure that the total microbiological count limits for your(b)(4)are appropriately stringent in view of the intended use of each of the products produced by your firm.Quality SystemsYour firm’s quality systems are inadequate. See FDA’s guidance documentQuality Systems Approach to Pharmaceutical CGMP Regulationsfor help implementing quality systems and risk management approaches to meet the requirements of CGMP regulations 21 CFR, parts 210 and 211 at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/quality-systems-approach-pharmaceutical-current-good-manufacturing-practice-regulations.CGMP Consultant RecommendedBased upon the nature of the violations, we identified at your firm, you should engage a consultant qualified as set forth in 21 CFR 211.34 to evaluate your operations and to assist your firm in meeting CGMP requirements. The qualified consultant should also perform a comprehensive six-system audit of your entire operation for CGMP compliance and evaluate the completion and efficacy of your corrective actions and preventive actions before you pursue resolution of your firm’s compliance status with FDA.Your use of a consultant does not relieve your firm’s obligation to comply with CGMP. Your firm’s executive management remains responsible for resolving all deficiencies and systemic flaws to ensure ongoing CGMP compliance.ConclusionThe violations cited in this letter are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations that exist at your facility. You are responsible for investigating and determining the causes of any violations and for preventing their recurrence or the occurrence of other violations.FDA placed all drugs and drug products offered for import into the United States from your firm on Import Alert 66-40 on November 12, 2025.Correct any violations promptly. FDA may withhold approval of new applications or supplements listing your firm as a drug manufacturer until any violations are completely addressed and we confirm your compliance with CGMP. We may inspect to verify that you have completed corrective actions to any violations.Failure to address any violations may also result in the FDA continuing to refuse admission of articles manufactured at Guangdong Renhe Guozhuang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., No. 5, Tongfu Road, Xicheng Industrial Area, Renhe Town, Guangzhou, into the United States under section 801(a)(3) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 381(a)(3). Articles under this authority that appear to be adulterated may be detained or refused admission, in that the methods and controls used in their manufacture do not appear to conform to CGMP within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B).This letter notifies you of our findings and provides you an opportunity to address the above deficiencies. After you receive this letter, respond to this office in writing within 15 working days. Specify what you have done to address any violations and to prevent their recurrence. In response to this letter, you may provide additional information for our consideration as we continue to assess your activities and practices. If you cannot complete corrective actions within 15 working days, state your reasons for delay and your schedule for completion.Send your electronic reply to CDER-OC-OMQ-Communications@fda.hhs.gov.

See Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), parts 210 and 211 (21 CFR parts 210 and 211).Because your methods, facilities, or controls for manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to CGMP, your drug products are adulterated within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B).We reviewed your June 6, 2025, response to our Form FDA 483 in detail and acknowledge receipt of your subsequent correspondence.During our inspection, our investigator observed specific violations, including but not limited to the following:1. Your firm failed to test samples of each component for identity and conformity with all appropriate written specifications for purity, strength, and quality. Your firm also failed to validate and establish the reliability of your component supplier’s test analyses at appropriate intervals (21 CFR 211.84(d)(1) and 211.84(d)(2)).You failed to perform adequate identity testing on each shipment of each lot of incoming components (for example,(b)(4)) used in the manufacture of your homeopathic drug products. Your firm’s testing was limited to Identification(b)(4)(specific gravity) and you failed to adequately test your incoming component(b)(4), used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), for(b)(4). In addition, you relied on your suppliers’ certificates of analysis (COAs) without establishing the reliability of your component suppliers’ test analyses at appropriate intervals.Products containing(b)(4)You manufacture multiple drugs that contain(b)(4). The use of(b)(4)contaminated with(b)(4)has resulted in various lethal poisoning incidents in humans worldwide. See FDA’s guidance document(b)(4).In your response, you stated that your firm was not following the current United States Pharmacopeia (USP) requirements for(b)(4)identification testing. USP pharmaceutical standards are applicable to drugs, including drug components, such as(b)(4), of finished pharmaceuticals, per section 501(b) of the FD&C Act.Your response is inadequate. It does not provide sufficient details about how you will establish the reliability of your component suppliers’ COAs at appropriate intervals. Furthermore, it does not indicate you will perform the required testing for each lot of incoming raw materials. Your response also lacks an appropriate and thorough risk assessment of the quality of previously distributed drug products that are within expiry.In response to this letter, provide:A commitment to provide(b)(4)test results, as applicable, no later than 30 calendar days from the date of this letter, from testing retains for all lots of high-risk drug components used in the manufacture of drug products. Alternatively, if a retain of a component lot is unavailable, perform retain sample testing of all implicated, marketed finished drug product batches for the presence of(b)(4), as applicable.A full risk assessment for drug products that are within expiry which contain any ingredient at risk for(b)(4)contamination (including, but not limited to,(b)(4)). Take prompt and appropriate actions to determine the safety of all lots of the component(s) and any related marketed drug product that could contain(b)(4), including customer notifications and product recalls for any contaminated lots. Identify additional appropriate corrective action and preventive action (CAPA) that secure supply chains in the future, including, but not limited to, ensuring that all incoming raw material lots are from fully qualified manufacturers and free from unsafe impurities. Detail these actions in your response to this letter.A description of how you will test each component lot for conformity with all appropriate specifications for identity, strength, quality, and purity. If you intend to accept any results from your suppliers’ certificate of analysis (COA) instead of testing each component lot for strength, quality, and purity, specify how you will robustly establish the reliability of your suppliers’ results through initial validation as well as periodic re-validation. In addition, include a commitment to always conduct at least one specific identity test for each incoming component lot.The chemical and microbiological quality control specifications you use to test each incoming lot of drug components to determine acceptability for use in manufacturing, including but not limited to,(b)(4).A comprehensive, independent review of your material system to determine whether all suppliers of components, containers, and closures, are each qualified and the materials are assigned appropriate expiration or retest dates. The review should also determine whether incoming material controls are adequate to prevent use of unsuitable components, containers, and closures.A summary of your program for qualifying and overseeing contract facilities that test the drug products you manufacture.A summary of results obtained from testing all components to evaluate the reliability of the COA from each component manufacturer. Include your standard operating procedures (SOP) that describes this COA validation program.2. Your firm failed to establish and follow adequate written procedures for cleaning and maintenance of equipment (21 CFR 211.67(b)).Your cleaning validation program for non-dedicated manufacturing equipment, used for multiple drug products, is inadequate. It does not include the equipment used in tablet manufacturing, such as Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) tanks(b)(4)tanks, product transfer hoses and(b)(4)hoses. Additionally, your firm lacks equipment usage logs and cleaning documentation, to ensure that the equipment is adequately cleaned and to prevent carry-over contamination from a prior batch during production campaigns.In your response, you acknowledge that the cleaning validation is not reflective of your current operations, because you continued to purchase new equipment and add new drug products to your operations. You stated that you recognize that the cleaning validation needs a comprehensive revision.Your response is inadequate. You have not provided sufficient details about your updated cleaning validation and associated procedures. You also did not provide a risk assessment of the quality of your distributed drugs, which are potentially contaminated because of your inadequate cleaning practices.In response to this letter, provide the following:A comprehensive, independent retrospective assessment of your cleaning effectiveness to evaluate the scope of cross-contamination hazards. Include the identity of residues, other manufacturing equipment that may have been improperly cleaned, and an assessment whether cross-contaminated products may have been released for distribution. The assessment should identify any inadequacies of cleaning procedures and practices and encompass each piece of manufacturing equipment used to manufacture more than one finished product.A CAPA plan, based on the retrospective assessment of your cleaning program, that includes appropriate remediations to your cleaning processes and practices, and timelines for completion. Provide a detailed summary of vulnerabilities in your process for lifecycle management of equipment cleaning. Describe improvements to your cleaning program, including enhancements to cleaning effectiveness; improved ongoing verification of proper cleaning execution for all products and equipment; and all other needed remediations.Appropriate improvements to your cleaning validation program, with special emphasis on incorporating conditions identified as worst-case in your drug manufacturing operation. This should include, but not be limited to, identification and evaluation of all worst-case:o Drugs with higher toxicitieso Drugs with higher drug potencieso Drugs of lower solubility in their cleaning solventso Drugs with characteristics that make them difficult to cleano Swabbing locations for areas that are most difficult to cleano Maximum hold times before cleaningIn addition, describe the steps that must be taken in your change management system before introduction of new manufacturing equipment or a new product.A summary of updated SOP that ensure an appropriate program is in place for verification and validation of cleaning procedures for products, processes, and equipment.3. Your firm failed to establish written procedures for production and process control designed to assure that the drug products you manufacture have the identity, strength, quality, and purity they purport or are represented to possess (21 CFR 211.100(a)).You have not adequately validated your production and process controls used to manufacture your homeopathic drug products, including “(b)(4)tablets” and “(b)(4),” which are labeled for(b)(4). Your drug products contain potentially hazardous components (for example,(b)(4)).In your response, you acknowledged that you have not been properly updating your process validations when new drug products and equipment are added, and your last official validation study was completed in 2007, when the company was under different ownership. You committed to using your current manufacturing data to update your process validation.Your response is inadequate. You did not provide details about how you will conduct process validation for all your products, including the products containing potentially hazardous components. Also, you did not provide a risk assessment and any follow-up actions to be taken for distributed drug products produced without performing appropriate process validation.Process validation evaluates the soundness of design and state of control of a process throughout its lifecycle. Each significant stage of a manufacturing process must be designed appropriately and assure the quality of raw material inputs, in-process materials, and finished drugs. Process qualification studies include intensive monitoring and testing throughout each significant process stage to characterize intra-batch variation and evaluate batches to determine whether an initial state of control has been established. Successful process qualification studies are necessary before commercial distribution. Thereafter, ongoing vigilant oversight of process performance and product quality is necessary to ensure you maintain a stable manufacturing operation throughout the product lifecycle.See FDA’s guidance documentProcess Validation: General Principles and Practicesfor general principles and approaches that FDA considers appropriate elements of process validation at https://www.fda.gov/media/71021/download.In response to this letter, provide the following:A detailed summary of your validation program for ensuring a state of control throughout the product lifecycle, along with associated procedures. Describe your program for process performance qualification (PPQ) and ongoing monitoring of both intra-batch and inter-batch variation to ensure a continuing state of control.A timeline for performing appropriate PPQ for each of your marketed drug products. Also, provide a risk assessment and any follow-up actions to be taken for the distributed drug products produced without performing appropriate process validation studies.Process performance protocol(s), and written procedures for qualification of equipment and facilities.A detailed program for designing, validating, maintaining, controlling, and monitoring each of your manufacturing processes that includes vigilant monitoring of intra-batch and inter-batch variation to ensure an ongoing state of control. Also, include your program for qualification of your equipment and facility.An assessment of each drug product process to ensure that there is a data-driven and scientifically sound program that identifies and controls all sources of variability, such that your production processes, will consistently meet appropriate specifications and manufacturing standards. This includes, but is not limited to, evaluating suitability of equipment for its intended use, sufficiency of detectability in your monitoring and testing systems, quality of input materials, and reliability of each manufacturing process step and control.Quality SystemsYour firm’s quality systems are inadequate.
