[2/15/2024] Super Chill Products, another distributor of Neptune’s Fix, is also recalling their products. The company has not issued a public notification to inform consumers of their recall.

Examples of Super Chill Products:

Neptunes Fix Elixir - Cherry Case
Neptunes Fix Cherry Elixir Front of Bottle
Neptunes Fix Cherry Elixir Side of Bottle

Consumers should not purchase or use any Neptune’s Fix products, or any other product with tianeptine – a potentially dangerous substance that is not FDA-approved for any medical use.

[11/21/2023] FDA is warning consumers not to purchase or use any Neptune’s Fix products, or any other product with tianeptine -- a potentially dangerous substance that is not FDA-approved for any medical use but is illegally sold with claims to improve brain function and treat anxiety, depression, pain, opioid use disorder and other conditions.

These products, like other tianeptine products, can be purchased online and at gas stations, vape or smoke shops, or other locations. FDA is testing these products and will provide more information as it becomes available. FDA also continues to warn consumers about risks of using tianeptine.
