CLAIM RULINGS · FALSE REGULATORY

Can a supplement say “100% safe” or “no side effects”?

No. Absolute safety cannot be substantiated for any supplement, given dosing and drug interactions, so both fail; remove them and add “consult your healthcare provider before use”.

§ 01 · WHY IT FAILS

The rule this runs into

Unsubstantiable safety absolute.

We file this under false regulatory and rate it critical. It is enforced by FDA, FTC, Amazon, 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.

§ 02 · WHAT TO SAY INSTEAD

The compliant version

This is the rewrite an audit ships for this phrase, in the words we would hand you.

THE RULING’S OWN REWRITE

Remove. 'Consult your healthcare provider before use.'

Every structure/function claim on this page still needs the FDA disclaimer wherever it appears. That requirement has its own ruling.
