What the evidence shows
GcMAF is promoted for cancer, HIV and autism, but it is not licensed and has not been tested for quality, safety or effectiveness. In 2015 the UK medicines regulator seized more than 10,000 vials from a factory where the plasma it was made from was labelled not for use in people.
What to do
