Risk result
High risk — treatment/outcome claim
The wording promises improvement and uses inflammation language that may communicate a therapeutic or disease-related outcome.
Outcome promise
High“improves recovery”
Evidence language
ReviewNo evidence qualifier shown
Controlled next step
Describe the product without promising a health outcome.
State what the product is and how it is used. Remove therapeutic outcomes unless qualified review confirms a lawful, properly substantiated basis for the claim.
A disease claim is not limited to the word “cure.” The complete message may imply that a product is intended to affect a named disease, its characteristic signs or its treatment.
The central question
What does the page tell a reasonable reader the product will do?
Review headings, product names, images, testimonials, links, SEO text and surrounding explanations together. A cautious verb does not necessarily neutralise a stronger implied takeaway.
Important
Replacing “treats” with “supports” is not enough when the rest of the page still communicates the same disease outcome.
Patterns to review
Language that often raises the signal
01Named condition
“For arthritis,” “diabetes support” or condition-specific landing pages.
02Characteristic symptom
Claims tied closely to a disease’s recognised signs or symptoms.
03Treatment comparison
Statements suggesting the product replaces, reduces or performs like treatment.
Controlled response
Do not perform a blind synonym swap
First remove or quarantine the unsupported outcome. Then document the product category, proposed claim, complete context and evidence for qualified review. Controlled wording should describe verifiable facts rather than invent a softer promise.
Limits
A scanner cannot approve the claim
Lawful wording depends on jurisdiction, product category, intended use, evidence, labelling requirements and current regulatory interpretation. Use automated review to find issues, not to declare a page compliant.
