Substantiation Risk Assessment

Assess the regulatory risk level of claims you plan to make about a dietary supplement product. Based on the FTC Health Products Compliance Guidance (2022) and FDA requirements.

This is an educational tool, not legal advice. Claim classification is subjective and context-dependent. The FTC evaluates the overall net impression of advertising, not just individual statements. Always consult a qualified regulatory attorney before making claims about dietary supplement products.

Example: how the assessment works

Moderate riskStructure/function claim with clinical evidence on file
Very high riskSame claim with no human clinical trial at the claimed dose
