Structure-Function Claim 1 article

Structure-function claims describe how a nutrient or ingredient is intended to affect normal body structure, normal function, or general well-being without claiming to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent a disease. In dietary-supplement labeling, these statements have their own substantiation, notification, and disclaimer context. They differ from health claims, which address relationships between a substance and disease risk. Exact wording matters because crossing into disease-treatment language changes the regulatory meaning.
