Controlled wording

Do not weaken the sentence. Correct the takeaway.

Safer editing starts by identifying the exact promise, the evidence needed and whether the product category permits that claim.

High risk

Describe the product factually and remove the disease or therapeutic outcome unless qualified counsel confirms a lawful, substantiated basis.

Clinically proven to speed recovery.

High risk

Identify the exact evidence and measured endpoint. Avoid “proven” when the total evidence does not support that takeaway.

Made in an FDA-registered facility.

Review

Add context that facility registration does not mean the product is FDA approved, if the statement is otherwise accurate and permitted.

Supports everyday wellness.

Context

Check that the statement fits the product category, is truthful and substantiated, and includes any required disclaimer.

Questions

What this checker can—and cannot—do.

Does this tool make my content FDA compliant?+

No. It is an educational first-pass screen, not legal advice, regulatory approval or a guarantee of compliance.

What kinds of wording can it flag?+

The example scanner looks for disease or treatment language, outcome promises, certainty claims and approval implications.

Can a disclaimer make any health claim acceptable?+

No. A disclaimer does not automatically cure a misleading, unsubstantiated or otherwise impermissible claim.

Why do images and testimonials matter?+

Regulators and consumers may take away an implied claim from the complete context, not only a single sentence.

Before you publish

Read the claim the way a regulator—or customer—might.
