WARNING LETTER
CERTIFIED MAIL
RETURN RECEIPT REOUESTED
Dr. Jau-Fei Chen
President
E. Excel International, Inc.
1198 North Spring Creek Place
Springville, Utah 84663
REF #: DEN-00-30
Dear Dr. Chen:
This letter is written in reference to the marketing of various products by your firm. These .
products are marketed and promoted through several types of media including your magazine,
“The Excellent Word.” This magazine is labeling and includes statements or suggestions that
several products, identified below, may be useful for treating various diseases. Disease claims in .’
“The Excellent Word” cause these products to be drugs. Additionally, several products that your
firm markets as foods are discussed in this letter.
Products that are drugs and their associated disease claims are:
Millennium Fine Cactus Nectar: fighting tumor growth, Epstein Barr Virus, treatment of
diabetes.
Duet Ginseng & Cactus Nectar: cytotoxic activity against leukemia cells, anticonvulsant,
antipyretic, antipsychotic, ulcer protection, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease,
cerebrovascular disease, central nervous system diseases, liver disease, and blood and
hematopoietic system diseases.
Vision Noco Dailv Nutrition Pack: reduced immune function, inflammation, degenerative -> -,
diseases such as arthritis. Page 2 - Warning Letter
August 7,200O
Nutrifresh and Nutriall: osteoporosis, lower cholesterol and therefore reduce the risk of heart
disease, anticarcinogenic, cancer, discourages the growth of breast, colon, lung, leukemia, and
prostate cancer cells.
Because your labeling includes statements which represent or suggest that these products are
intended to be used in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, these products are
drugs under Section 201(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act).
We are unaware of any evidence that establishes that these drugs are generally recognized as safe
and effective for their intended uses. Therefore, these products are new drugs as described in
Section 201 (‘p) of the Act which may not be marketed since no new drug application required by
Section 505 of the Act has been approved for any of these drugs.
These drugs are also misbranded under Section 502(a) of the Act because their labeling is false
and misleading since it suggests that these drugs are safe and effective for their intended uses,
when, in fact, this has not been established. These drugs are further misbranded under Section
502(f)( 1) of the Act because their labeling fails to bear adequate directions for their intended
uses.
As I have stated, the above products (Millennium Fine Cactus Nectar, Duet Ginseng & Cactus
Nectar Vision Noco Dailv Nutrition Pack, Nutrifresh, and Nutriall) are drugs as currently -9-Y-,
labeled. If the drug claims for these products are eliminated, the products then become dietary
supplements or foods along with the remaining products cited in this letter. The following
deficiencies apply, and should be corrected:
Your Nutrifresh product (Original, Peach,, Chocolate, Strawberry, and Mixed Fruit) is
misbranded under Section 403(r)(l)(A) of the Act, in that its label may not contain nutrient
content claims that are not authorized for use. .For example, this product bears the unauthorized
nutrient content claim “Rich in Phytonutrients,” for which there is no established daily value.
Your products Nutriall Health Drink, Nutrifresh, Refresh. Triflora, and EverNew are misbranded
under Section 403(i)(l) of the Act in that the labels fail to bear a statement of identity by
common or usual name or an appropriately descriptive term, as required by Title 2 1, Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 101.3(b) [21 CFR 101.3(b).] The products are dry powders, and
should include a term such as “mix” to describe the nature of the products. Millennium Fine
Cactus Nectar and Duet Ginseng & Cactus Nectar are also misbranded under Section 403(i)( 1) of
the Act in that their labels fail to bear a statement of identity by common or usual name, or an
appropriately descriptive term, as required by 21 CFR 101.3(b).
Your products labeled as dietary supplements are misbranded under Sections 403(q)(5)(F) and
403(s)(2)(A) of the Act, in that their labels do not list in the supplement facts box the identity
and quantity of each dietary ingredient used in the products, as required by 2 1 CFR 10 1.36.
Your products ST, Concenergy, Dona-Ouai, Circle, Art, Act, Pearl. Vision, Ji-Lin Ginseng, &I, Page 3 - Warning Letter
August 7,200O _. -
Noco, and m identify one or more herbal dietary ingredients in the ingredient statement, but do
not list the identity and quantity of each dietary ingredient in the supplement facts box.
Your products which contain botanical or herbal dietary ingredients or extracts of an herb or
bctanical are misbranded under Section 403(s)(2)(C) of the Act, in that their labels do not
identify the part of the plant from whichthe dietary ingredients are derived, as required by 21
CFR 10 1.36. For example, your products ST, Concenergv, Dong-Ouai, Circle, Art, Act, Pearl,
Vision, Ji-Lin Ginseng, DI. Noco, and m are labeled as containing botanical or herbal dietary
ingredients or extracts of an herb, but the product labels do not identify the part of the plant as
required by the regulation.
Your product Noco is misbranded under section 403(i) of the Act, in that the label must list the
each herb or botanical ingredient by its common or usual name, as required by 2 1 CFR 101.4(h).
The ingredient statement on the label for Noco does not list the common or usual name for the -.
ingredient “Jin-Jie.”
Your products Millennium Fine Cactus Nectar and Duet Ginseng & Cactus Nectar are
misbranded under Section 403(i)(2) of the Act, in that the products are fabricated from two or
more ingredients and the label on the outside container does not bear the common or usual name
of each ingredient. The ingredients are either missing or are not easily read by ordinary
individuals under customary conditions of purchase and use.

Your product, Stevia, is labeled with directions for use that include the statement “dietary
supplement.”
a. If this product is intended to be a dietary supplement, 2 1 CFR 10 1.3(g) requires that ’
the label bear the statement “dietary supplement”, or alternatively, “Stevia
S-rpplement,” as part of the identity statement. In addition, 2 1 CFR 101.36(e)
requires that the label contain “Supplement Facts.”
b. If this product is not intended to be a dietary supplement, but a conventional food, 21
CFR Part 170 requires that the product be generally recognized as safe for its
intended use, or used in accordance with the provisions of an authorizing regulation
under 2 1 CFR Part 171, which describes safe use conditions. In addition, regulations

then appropriate regulations for cosmetics should be followed.
The vignette on the labels of your Nutrifresh (Original, Peach, Chocolate, Strawberry, and Mixed
Fruit) products depicts a variety of fruits, ,some of which are not ingredients in each of these
products. The vignettes should be changed so they show only those fruits that are actually found
in each product. Page 4 - Warning Letter
