Is Organic Germanium Legal?

I’ve heard that Organic Germanium is illegal. What can you tell me about this? There is nothing illegal about a domestic supply. However, the FDA issued an import alert against Germanium products in 1988 and again in 1995. This import alert is still in force today. This action was driven primarily by the deleterious effects of contaminated material being imported from Asia. In spite of this action, material continues to slip across the border (apparently illegally). The most common names are targeted which suggests that un-scrupled profiteers are engaged in gross negligence or fraud in order to sneak it through customs. Designed Nutritional’s domestic product is the best way to insure a reliable and legal supply. http://www.fda.gov/ora/fiars/ora_import_ia5407.html.
