Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dietary supplements can claim to support, restore, or regulate conditions such as immune health. They cannot claim implicitly or explicitly to cure, treat, or prevent a disease or condition. Claims to prevent a disease or condition are not allowed because that is restricted to medications, not dietary supplements.
