Reviewing Supplement Claims Before Label Design

The short answer

List each claim separately and link it to the ingredient, dose, source and proposed label location. Wording that implies treating or preventing disease needs specific review and should not pass as ordinary marketing copy.

Three actions to take

  • Review wording before final design.
  • Keep the source for every statement.
  • Separate nutrition description from medical claims.
