Health claims
Health claims are statements made about the relationship between a food, ingredient, or dietary supplement and its potential health benefits. They can range from promoting general wellness to claiming that a product can prevent or treat specific diseases. In many countries, health claims must be supported by scientific evidence and are regulated by government agencies to ensure accuracy and protect consumers from misleading information. It’s important for consumers to understand these claims, as not all products with health claims are effective or necessary for good health. Always consult scientific guidelines or healthcare professionals for reliable information.
