Common questions about dietary supplements and nutraceuticals websites

What is the DSHEA disclaimer and do I need it?

If your supplement website makes any structure/function claim (e.g., "supports joint health," "boosts energy"), you must display: "These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease." Required by 21 U.S.C. 343(r)(6).

What is the difference between a structure/function claim and a disease claim?

"Supports immune health" is a permissible structure/function claim. "Prevents colds" or "fights infection" is a disease claim that makes your supplement an unapproved drug under the FD&C Act. The distinction is the single most common enforcement trigger in the supplement industry.

Do I need to show Supplement Facts on my website?

FDA 21 CFR 101.36 requires Supplement Facts on physical labels. While not legally identical, displaying serving size, ingredients, and amounts on product web pages is industry standard and required by Amazon, Walmart, and major retailers for online listings.

Can customers post testimonials about health results?

Customer testimonials making health claims are treated as advertising claims under FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR 255). A testimonial saying "this cured my arthritis" is an unsubstantiated disease claim you are responsible for. Monitor and moderate user-generated health claims.
