Securus was sold on Amazon where the listing page prominently featured the blue FDA image
This image shows a prior Amazon product listing for Securus by Nature’s Elixir. The listing specifically notes that the product was "RESEARCHED AND FORMULATED BY DR. MARK ANDERSON, PhD". Securus was sold on Amazon where the listing page prominently featured the federal FDA mark (“MADE IN AN FDA APPROVED FACILITY”) next to an image of the bottle.
You deserve to know the truth about natural supplements currently on the market or previously available worldwide. NVCBTS has not been able to obtain a sample of the pill from the actual manufacturer or obtain any available safety testing or metals testing for the Securus supplement from the manufacturer. Public records note NATURE'S ELIXIR LLC Managing Members Mark C. Anderson and Melinda D. Scheer. One address noted in the public record is 2620 REGATTA DRIVE, LAS VEGAS, NV, 89128.

Disclaimer: Thank you for visiting NVCBTS of Las Vegas, Nevada. This website and information provided is for informational and educational purposes only. Toxic ingredients like heavy metals in some herbs can potentially cause anxiety, panic attacks, disease and/or cognitive and medical decline. Though some herbs might be safe for some consumers if taken in proper doses and durations, certain herbal concentrations and/or contaminants might cause serious illness or even death.
Bacopa leaf was listed as an ingredient of Securus along with GABA, kava kava and passion flower. Multiple pharmacy doctors and medical journals have warned of bacopa leaf's potential dangers for some people.
Scientists and doctors sometimes test herbs to determine carcinogenicity. Some medical studies reveal that lead (sometimes found in some toxic herbs) is considered to be a link to Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease often leads to depression, anxiety and mood problems.

As reflected above, one or more sellers marketed Nature's Elixir LLC's Securus supplement on Amazon – displaying part of the blue FDA logo (with “MADE IN AN FDA APPROVED FACILITY”) and making other claims including, but not limited to: "RISK-FREE GUARANTEE!", "NO HARMFUL SIDE EFFECTS", "GMP CERTIFIED" and a "100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE" claim. If you purchased or consumed Nature Elixir's Securus supplement, you have the right to contact the above governmental agencies and/or Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners for any questions or concerns you might have.
Fact: Vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other dietary supplements are not FDA-approved to treat or prevent disease. There is no such thing as the "Miracle Pill."
More Information: The FDA does not approve dietary supplements for any purpose.
Products that have claims to treat, diagnose, prevent, or cure diseases are generally subject to regulation as drugs. Visit the FDA Dietary Supplement Fact Sheets to obtain government research for substances such as kava kava, bacopa leaf, gaba and passion flower.
"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers of the potential risk of severe liver injury associated with the use of kava-containing dietary supplements...FDA urges consumers and their health care professionals to report any cases of liver and other injuries that may be related to the use of kava-containing dietary supplements. Adverse events associated with the use of dietary supplements should be reported as soon as possible to FDA's MedWatch program by calling their toll-free number (1-800-332-1088) or through the Internet." (Portion of document issued on March 25, 2002 which was part of the FDA.gov collection and consumer advisory).
Bottom Line: If a supplement promises a cure or quick fix for a health problem, such as epilepsy or asthma, it is probably too good to be true.
If a seller of herbal medicines advertises using the federally-reserved FDA logo, do your due diligence to protect yourself and others.
The Amazon image above shows a claim that the date on the bottle was not the expiration date.
Expiration dates for products could be important due to the possible increase in bacteria and other factors. If you have a bottle of Securus, don't assume it is not expired. Provide the Securus bottle to your medical doctor for inspection. NVCBTS is looking for a bottle of Securus to test with a third party. Please email us right away if you are in possession of Securus.
As a consumer, you are free to report any potentially concerning products to the FDA at FDA Health Fraud Scams.
Please note that the first image of pills on a spoon is neither an accurate representation nor an image of the Securus pills.
The following state agencies have received detailed research pertaining to the Securus pill:
Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners, New York State Education Department Office of the Professions and the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners. You can contact these agencies and request a copy of their research pertaining to the Securus supplement.
