    PrintThe Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) requires that the manufacturer, packer, or distributor who wish to market a dietary supplement notify FDA regarding the statement on the label or in the labeling of its product, pursuant to § 403(r)(6) of the Act.

The law states that a dietary supplement may bear certain statements on its label or in its labeling

if the claim(s) meets certain requirements,
	if the entities making the claims have substantiation that such a statement is truthful and not misleading, and if
	the standard disclaimer (see § 403(r)(6)(C)) is prominently displayed on the label.Section 101.93(f) of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 21, simply restates part of the definition of the types of claims that may be made under section 403(r)(6) of the Act.

Finally, the notification must be submitted to FDA no later than 30 days after the first marketing of the dietary supplement product.
