The government is telling a Provo company to stop making wild claims about its supplements.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says True Renewal of Provo was claiming it supplements could cure AIDS, cancer, malaria and depression.

The Daily Herald reports the FDA sent a warning letter to the company Jan. 6, citing claims made on its Web site that the Miracle Mineral supplement made AIDS patients disease-free in three days, and that Groviola conquers cancer safely.

The government says those claims mean the products are drugs, which cannot be legally marketed without FDA approval.

The company now has altered its Web site with disclaimers.
