Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is a health claim, which is defined by the FDA as a claim that "explicitly or implicitly represents that a relationship exists between a food [or dietary supplement] substance and a disease or health-related condition." Health claims are allowed on dietary supplement labels as long as they are supported by scientific evidence and meet other criteria set by the FDA. In this case, there is ample scientific evidence to support the statement that calcium builds strong bones, so it could be allowed to appear on a dietary supplement label.
