Claim rulingsNamed condition
No. Anxiety is a recognised medical condition, so naming it turns the copy into a drug claim. The compliant substitutes are “promotes a sense of calm” and “supports relaxation”.
Why it fails
Anxiety is a recognised disease. Naming it creates a drug claim.
We file this under named condition and rate it critical. It is enforced by FDA, FTC, Meta, Google, which matters because a single phrase can fail in more than one place at once: a listing suppression, an ad-account review and a warning letter are three different consequences of the same sentence.
What to say instead
This is the rewrite an audit ships for this phrase, in the words we would hand you.

'Promotes a sense of calm' / 'supports relaxation'
Claims that hold in its place
The standard safe substitute for anxiety language.
Relaxation is not a disease state.
Every structure/function claim on this page still needs the FDA disclaimer wherever it appears. That requirement has its own ruling.
