"FDA and CDC Issue Urgent Warnings on Dangerous Neptune's Fix Products"

The CDC warns that Neptune’s Fix, also known as "gas station heroin," may be contaminated with synthetic pot and other harmful substances, leading to severe reactions including seizures, brain swelling, and hallucinations. The FDA does not regulate dietary supplements, and Neptune's Fix, which contains tianeptine, an antidepressant with opioid-like effects, has been linked to numerous hospitalizations. The maker of Neptune’s Fix has agreed to recall its products, but experts emphasize the need for stricter regulations around dietary supplements in the U.S.
