Claim rulingsDisease verb
No. “Treats” is an explicit disease claim under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, so a dietary supplement cannot use it at all. Reframe the sentence around the normal function the ingredient supports.
Why it fails
Explicit disease claim under FDCA.
We file this under disease verb and rate it critical. It is enforced by FDA, FTC, Amazon, 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.
The ruling’s own rewrite
Remove. Reframe to what the ingredient supports in normal function.
Claims that hold in its place
Sleep is a normal function.
Normal-function framing.
Broad and safe.
'Comfort' replaces 'pain' throughout.
Every structure/function claim on this page still needs the FDA disclaimer wherever it appears. That requirement has its own ruling.
