Why is Super Cissus Rx banned in Australia?![]()

EVERY capsule product? So does this mean the bulk powder is fine to import?
I just tried a dummy order with another capsule product and the "error" message didn't come up!! Then i added one more and no message. It wasn't until i t added the Cissus that the message came up again.
My frustration is not with you but I HAVE been told our customs are the absolute worst to deal with.
I just want my wife to be pain free from osteo arthritis. Your Super Cissus Rx does this. How hard is it going to get????
....mod edit: rules please.
Due to the current situation with the TGA, any products that are not in POWDER form are risky to import, and, as Jacob said, done at your own risk. Individuals who import capsuled products may get away with it, but distributor and retailers (who order large quantities of product) will not.
Products that come in capsules that are on the TGA's "approved" list should be fine, though.

I refer to a list from the TGA website whenever i order something new. Which is hardly ever as i have my staples and stick to them.......usually!! There is the odd occassion that i try something new.
But Cissus.............come on. Do they make up the rules as they go along. If it was something cosmetic that i, myself use i'd use the "F" word once or twice and i'd be over it.
The reason i am so angry, and for me to get like this is rare, is that i have witnessed this product CURE my wifes osteo-arthritis that used to wake her up at night because it was that bad.
She hardly ever complains about it but to see how happy she has been since she can exercise pain free again is nothing short of amazing so it has actually improved the lives of our whole family.
We are all doing more now because we can. Pre Cissus she sometimes didn't want to leave the house she felt so miserable because of the pain. So, for absolutely no reason this could be in jeopardy because someone has put it onto the banned list.....but why? There is NO explanation, no reason. We are just supposed to accept it!!!!!
If there were serious sides or even potentially serious sides i could understand but other than her third arm and the horn growing out of the middle of her foreheadwe haven't seen any. edit: Sorry, had to break the mood up a bit.
I'm actually still stunned that i'm even writing about this stupidity. I'm just hoping that someone has made a mistake.........maybe it was the new guy!!!!
What current situation with the TGA?
I wouldn't bother trying to get something through customs here that wasn't legal. What is the deal with capsuled products?
I, as well as my wife base our lives on common sense and in this scenario.
-We have access to the internet,
-We can order supplements cheaper from the US.
-We check to see if it's legal here.
-If it is we order it
-Where is the problem here?
I am stunned at some peoples stupidity and willingness to make life uncomfortable for people who have done nothing wrong. And no, i'm not referring to you Rosie. I know you must abide by the rules. I just wasn't aware of any new laws or regulations.
ive had the uspowders, nutra plant, usplabs and primaforce cissus products through a few times and inspected too
The TGA is making it very difficult for companies as there is a fine line between homeopathic supplements and products considered to be of a pharmaceutical nature (i.e. something that has "claims"; it it has "claims", then it is considered prescriptive), and everything has to go through a process of being registered and approved by them before it can be 'legally' sold in Australia. This has been extending to those importing goods in larger quantities (so individuals who order, as mentioned, less than or equal to 3 months personal use supply should (note the SHOULD) be ok).
I would have to find out more. I have had it explained to me, but the point was what I remembered most.

good luck to you bro. I hope everything works out.
It's simple.
Email the TGA.. get clearance for a product, keep a copy of the email.
Best advice from customs.

Sounds simple enough doesn't it? But as i get my advice from the TGA website with specified links i've had sent to me from a TGA staff member i'm assuming that would be enough, unless they change the rules / regulations often.
Don't forget we are talking Cissus here, Cissus!!!!! Not p/h or ephedrine.
I Just ordered bulk super cissus rX il let you know it it gets through
