The probiotic microbial strains used in the product formulation are "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS status), according to the regulations of U.S. FDA.
In addition to marketing and sales of Renadyl™ as a dietary supplement, the company is currently exploring the option of advancing the product to prescription drug status by way of adhering to all USFDA guidelines.
