Dietary Supplement Claims Substantiation

The labeling and promotion of your dietary supplement products are the most visible ways that the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) can track your compliance with federal regulations. A perfect complement to our training, “Dietary Supplement Labeling Compliance,” this course will detail each type of permitted claim available to you and the criteria for making each one.

At the end of the course, you will know and understand:

• FDA and FTC claim substantiation standards
• How to build the substantiation for each claim that the FDA and FTC requires to ensure your claims are accurate and not misleading
• How to avoid making implied claims which could lead to regulatory enforcement
