In the United States, it is against federal regulations for supplement manufacturers to [[health claim|claim]] that these products prevent or treat any disease. Companies are allowed to use what is referred to as "Structure/Function" wording if there is substantiation of [[scientific evidence]] for a supplement providing a potential health effect. An example would be "_____ helps maintain healthy joints", but the label must bear a disclaimer that the [[Food and Drug Administration]] (FDA) "has not evaluated the claim" and that the dietary supplement product is not intended to "diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease", because only a [[Medication|drug]] can legally make such a claim. The FDA enforces these regulations and also prohibits the sale of supplements and supplement ingredients that are dangerous, or supplements not made according to standardized [[good manufacturing practice]]s (GMPs). | In the United States, it is against federal regulations for supplement manufacturers to [[health claim|claim]] that these products prevent or treat any disease.
