Balance of Nature says it is back in business after FDA shutdown

Balance of Nature says it has resumed selling and shipping its dietary supplements, following a court-ordered pause of its operations earlier this month over concerns raised by the Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA had asked a federal judge to block the two Utah-based companies behind Balance of Nature – Evig LLC and Premium Productions LLC – from the market in October.
At the time, the agency cited "repeated violations of manufacturing requirements," unfounded claims by the brand in marketing its products and concerns that Balance of Nature supplements may not actually contain what they claimed to.
