This website and information provided is for informational and educational purposes only. Nevada Cares for Banning Toxic Supplements (NVCBTS) is a social advocacy and public interest cause. NVCBTS is dedicated to encouraging due diligence and investigations into product safety of potentially toxic herbal supplements with the sole aim of protecting the consumer. . . . Scientific research shows that many herbs could contain metallic poisons: lead, aluminum, cadmium and other heavy metals and/or might be a danger to lungs, thyroid, heart rate, blood pressure and anxiety.* Herbal supplements should always undergo quality and safety testing to protect the public from harm. "Natural" does not necessarily mean "safe." . . . You deserve to know the truth about natural supplements currently on the market or previously available worldwide, but NVCBTS has not been able to obtain (from a pill creator) or find any available metals or safety testing for Securus. . . .

Disclaimer: Thank you for visiting NVCBTS of Las Vegas, Nevada. This website and information provided is for informational and educational purposes only. NVCBTS is not a government agency but a volunteer service for public health. 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. Many pharmacy doctors and medical journals warn of bacopa leaf's potential dangers for some people.* Bacopa leaf was listed as an ingredient of Securus along with GABA, kava kava and passion flower. 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.
For medical related advice, please consult with your physician.

If you consumed Nature Elixir's Securus Pill, you have the right to contact the above parties and/or Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners for any questions or concerns you might have. Perhaps your experience with Securus was positive. Securus might be safe. NVCBTS has not been able to find or obtain any available metals or safety testing for Securus. If a non-medical provider prescribed or sold you any herbal supplements, consider reaching out to the regulatory board(s) for your state. One or more sellers marketed Nature's Elixir LLC's Securus on Amazon with the federal, blue FDA letters (logo) and other claims. The claims included, but were not limited to: "MADE IN AN FDA APPROVED FACILITY", "RISK-FREE GUARANTEE!", "NO HARMFUL SIDE EFFECTS", "GMP CERTIFIED" and a "100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE" claim.
The FDA notes: “The FDA’s logo is for official government use only. The FDA’s logo should not be used to misrepresent the agency or to suggest that the FDA endorses any private organization, product, or service...The FDA doesn't approve facilities...Misuse of the FDA logo may violate federal law and subject those responsible to criminal penalties."
There is no such thing as a "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.
Bottom Line: If a supplement promises a cure or quick fix for a health problem, it is probably too good to be true.
If a seller of herbal medicines advertises using the FDA logo, do your due diligence to protect yourself and others.
The image provided shows a claim that the date on the bottle was not the expiration date.
How would one know when the product should no longer be consumed due to the possible decrease in quality or possible increase in bacteria?
As a consumer, you are free to report any potentially concerning products to the FDA at FDA Health Fraud Scams.
Please note that the image of pills is neither an accurate representation nor an actual image of the Securus pills.
