WARNING LETTER
May 30, 2025
RE: 709333
Dear Ms. Moody and Ms. Conzemius:
This letter is to advise you that on March 10th, 2025 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed your product labeling, including on your website, biowellness444.com, where your “Silver Bullet elite douche” and “Silver D elite douche” drug products are available for purchase in the United States without a prescription. We also reviewed your social media on Instagram at “biowellness444,” which directs consumers to your website to purchase your products.
“Silver Bullet elite douche” and “Silver D elite douche” drug products are unapproved new drugs introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce in violation of sections 505(a) and 301(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act,) 21 U.S.C. 355(a), 331(d). These violations are described in more detail below.
Unapproved New Drug Violations
“Silver Bullet elite douche” and “Silver D elite douche” are “drugs” as defined by section 201(g)(1)(B) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1)(B), because they are intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and/or under section 201(g)(1)(C) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1)(C), because they are intended to affect the structure or any function of the body.
Examples from the “Silver Bullet elite douche” and “Silver D elite douche” product labeling, including your website listed above, that provide evidence of the intended uses (as defined in 21 CFR 201.128) of the products as drugs include, but may not be limited to, the following:
“Silver Bullet elite douche”

“Tea tree oil and colloidal silver are better together…Combining these two, natural antibiotics has proven to be make them [sic] more effective at killing microorganisms…” [from your product website]
Based on the above labeling evidence “Silver Bullet elite douche” and “Silver D elite douche” are over-the-counter (OTC) colloidal silver-containing drug products intended for use in the treatment of vaginal infections. The Agency has determined that any OTC drug product containing colloidal silver ingredients or silver salts that is labeled, represented, or promoted for the treatment and/or prevention of any disease is regarded as a new drug within the meaning of section 201(p) of the FD&C Act, and that all such products are deemed to be new drugs and require an approved new drug application or abbreviated new drug application under section 505 of the FD&C Act to be lawfully marketed according to 21 CFR 310.548(b).
No FDA-approved applications pursuant to section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355 are in effect for these products. Thus, “Silver Bullet elite douche” and “Silver D elite douche” are unapproved new drugs marketed in violation of section 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355(a). Introduction or delivery for introduction of these products into interstate commerce violates section 301(d) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d).
