Why is it important to know the origin of the product?

With the growing popularity of Phosphoethanolamine, a silent risk also grows: the use of parallel versions, without technical control, traceability or laboratory safety.

The origin of the formula: what USP developed

At the São Carlos Chemistry Institute (IQSC), at the University of São Paulo (USP), in the 1990s. At the time, the substance began to be distributed in an artisanal manner to cancer patients, even without having passed through all the clinical phases used for drug approval.

Chemically, a phosphoethanolamine is composed of a simple structure: a phosphate group, an ethyl chain, and a terminal amine. However, this structural simplicity does not mean that any version of the substance is safe. On the contrary: the purity of the raw material, the rigor of the technical production process, and laboratory control are essential to guarantee its efficacy and safety.

In 2014, USP suspended production and distribution of the substance, citing a lack of robust clinical studies proving its therapeutic efficacy. Even so, informal and continued distribution by independent groups generated national controversy and brought the debate to Congress.

Subsequent studies conducted by institutions such as the São Paulo State Cancer Institute (ICESP) and the National Cancer Institute (INCA) failed to demonstrate the substance's effectiveness in cases of advanced solid tumors. Furthermore, analyses revealed that several homemade preparations presented inconsistencies in the declared parts, variations in purity, and even the presence of unidentified matter, raising serious concerns about its safety for human consumption.

International recognition: Phospho Max and FDA approval

Despite the impasse in Brazil, in 2016, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) — the regulatory body in the United States — authorized the use of phosphoethanolamine supplementation as a food, registering its potential benefits for general health, especially in cellular mechanisms and immunomodulation.

It was in this context that Phospho Max emerged, pioneering production with North American quality standards, operating since then with complete traceability, rigorous technical control and validated raw materials.

The company has established itself as one of the few in the international market with a technical and ethical commitment to consumers, respecting laboratory criteria for purity, balanced formulation, and delivering a reliable, affordable, and safe supplement.

The danger of parallel brands: when cheap becomes expensive

With the growing notoriety of phosphoethanolamine, several brands have appeared on the market offering parallel versions of the compound, often without any technical control, without a reliable manufacturing history and without laboratory validation tests.

These versions, often sold as "generic dietary supplements," do not meet international quality standards and can pose serious health risks. Studies published by independent centers have found that some of these formulas have imbalances in their composition, the presence of inactive excipients or contaminants, and, in many cases, no measurable amount of active phosphoethanolamine.

"I've been in the market for eight years, selling this product, seeking developed raw materials, the best on the market, with all possible certifications. And these people come along buying any product, calling it phosphoethanolamine, and selling it at low prices... This is dangerous! This is what's polluting the market. But, as I always say, I'm the only one who's been here for eight years. I've seen a lot of people come and go. The difference lies in the responsibility for people's health."

A true story worth hearing

The seriousness of phosphoethanolamine and its potential effects were also covered in reports on TV Senado. One of the most moving testimonies, in particular, comes from a patient who states:

"After I started using a phosphoethanolamine manufactured in the United States, I didn't need chemotherapy. My body responded much better."

Conclusion: Origin matters more than price

Phosphoethanolamine is not a magic formula, but a serious substance that demands ethical commitment to science, ingredient purity, and the consumer. Products without provenance and without control put lives at risk.

Phospho Max remains a market leader, manufactured in the United States, with an 8-year solid track record, real feedback, and a public commitment to quality. Before purchasing any product with miraculous promises or unreasonably low prices, do your research, ask questions, and demand traceability.
