Claims That Can Be Made for Dietary
Supplements
Claims that can be used on food and
dietary supplement labels fall into three
categories:
1) Health claims
2) Qualified Health claims
3) Structure/Function claims

www.vediclifesciences.com
Health Claims

A "health claim" by definition has two essential components:
 a substance (whether a food, food component, or dietary ingredient)
 a disease or health-related condition.

A statement lacking either one of these components does not meet the
regulatory definition of a health claim.

Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA), 1990 regulates the
Health claim petitions.

Examples of Health Claims:
 “Development of cancer depends on many factors. Eating a diet low in fat
and high in grain products, fruits and vegetables that contain dietary fiber
may reduce your risk of some cancers.”
 "diets high in calcium may reduce the risk of osteoporosis"
www.vediclifesciences.com
Qualified Health Claims
 Consumer Health Information for Better Nutrition Initiative 2003
provides for the use of qualified health claims to substantiate evidence
for a relationship between a dietary supplement and reduced risk of a
disease or health-related condition.
 Label claim should be clear & concise to point limitation of the
Evidence supporting Health Claim.
 Both conventional foods and dietary supplements may use qualified
health claims
www.vediclifesciences.com
Structure/Function Claims

Structure/function claims describe
 Role of a nutrient or dietary ingredient intended to affect normal
structure or function in humans. Such as, "calcium builds strong bones."
 The means by which a nutrient or dietary ingredient acts to maintain
such structure or function, Such as, "fiber maintains bowel regularity,“
 General well-being from consumption of a nutrient or dietary ingredient
 Benefit related to a nutrient deficiency disease (like vitamin C and
scurvy), with the prevalence of disease in US.

As Structure/Function claims are not pre-approved by FDA,
manufacturers are solely responsible for
 Claims are truthful, accurate & not misleading.
 Notification to FDA within first 30 days for the usage of claims for the
marketing of product.
 A mandatory disclaimer statement as per law.
