Executive Summary
Deephaven Nutraceuticals discontinues unsupported claims and testimonials for its Bravina dietary supplement in print and Web ads following a National Advertising Division review, according to an Aug. 18 case report. As part of its ongoing monitoring program with the Council for Responsible Nutrition, NAD reviewed claims for the supplement, including claims it is "designed and manufactured for sufferers of public speaking anxiety."

NAD increased scrutiny of dietary supplements in 2007 in part because CRN asked the division to help regulate industry ads (1"The Tan Sheet" Sept. 25, 2006)
