If you\u2019ve read the previous 4 articles on making dietary supplement claims you know more than the average health marketer. Hopefully those articles can keep you out of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are links to each in case you missed them<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  4. The Secret To Making Dietary Supplement Claims (Without Getting Slapped By The FDA or FTC)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In this article, we\u2019ll round out the series by covering exactly how to make a Structure \/ Function Claim the legal way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember a Structure \/ Function Claim is one that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1) Describes the role of a nutrient or dietary ingredient intended to affect normal structure or function in humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (2) Characterizes the means by which a nutrient or dietary ingredient acts to maintain such normal structure or function; or<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (3) Describes general well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are 3 ways to properly make a Structure \/ Function Claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s take a look at all three\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Avoid The Giant Leap Pitfall<\/b><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Remember the video game Pitfall? Where you\u2019d have to swing over a pit on a vine. You want to avoid falling into the pit by making a giant leap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here\u2019s what I mean by a giant leap\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Going from one aspect of a dietary supplement, for example a particular ingredient, to the end result of what it does, is a giant leap. You\u2019re leaving out  all of the steps in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The FDA sees this as a big No-No. It\u2019s akin to making a drug or disease claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Instead, build a bridge and go one step at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    An example of that would be briefly\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1<\/strong> – This dietary supplement has the following patented blend of amino acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2<\/strong> – Explain what an amino acid is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3<\/strong> – Explain what amino acids do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 4<\/strong> – Explain what happens the result on a cellular or molecular level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 5<\/strong> – Explain the negative side of things. (Potentially from a lack of amino acids or a deficiency in some nutrient for example.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 6<\/strong> – Leading the prospect over the bridge, let her draw her own conclusion. i.e. Oh, this supplement helps do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There may even be many more steps between steps 4 and 6. It all depends on what your particular dietary supplement does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Going from one step to another is key. Lead them, don\u2019t jump to the end result and thus make a claim. Let the prospects jump to that last conclusion step which leads them to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The second way to properly make a Structure \/ Function Claim, is too\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Focus, Focus and then Focus Some More With Focus On Top<\/b><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    The key to success in anything is Focus and that includes making proper health claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Focus on the \u201cmode\u201d or the \u201cmechanism of action.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A \u201cmode of action\u201d describes a change, at the cellular level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In comparison, a mechanism of action describes such changes at the molecular level and a mode of action happens in the cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sticking to the affect on the body or one of the two types of action keeps you on the safe side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Focus on one or more specific ingredients.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That is just the ingredients and what the research says about them, not any claims for what they do or might do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Focus on molecules or cells.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is done by focusing on the biochemical or molecular level of change that happens in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just DON\u2019T make any claim about the affect or action of dietary supplement ingredients or molecular cells on any disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The third way\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cSetting The Stage\u201d Grouping Your Content<\/b><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ve spoke about this in more detail in The 3 Act Approach to Selling Dietary Supplements<\/a> which I encourage you to read. But let\u2019s recap it briefly here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Act 1 – Set The Stage<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This act sets up the story. It answers the following questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What is the health condition?<\/b> (i.e. What is the dietary supplement for? Just don\u2019t say that it is for that directly.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What causes that health condition?<\/b> How the condition comes about in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What are the affects of it and what does it mean if it goes untreated?<\/b> (This is the intensification of the problem, for all you direct response copywriters.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Act 2 – Star The Product<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This second act discusses the product and it\u2019s ingredients. It answers the following questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What ingredients are in your dietary supplement? <\/b>List each one out and describe what each one is for, backed up with proof and scientific studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What do the ingredients do on a cellular or molecular level to maintain optimal health?<\/b> Maintaining optimal health is the key here. That\u2019s the way to stay away from a claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How do the ingredients do what they do on a cellular or molecular level?<\/b> Again, specifically to help maintain optimal health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Act 3 – The Bridge<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In this third and last act, you allow the reader to make a leap and come to a conclusion on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You want to lead them to the thought, “By maintaining a particular cell structure, or function of your body they are maintaining a healthy state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is also wise to point out that an \u201coptimal state of health\u201d is mutually exclusive with that of a \u201cdiseased or abnormal state of health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You\u2019re reinforcing that your claims are NOT about curing, treating, or preventing a disease. Diseases and abnormal states of health are the complete opposite of an \u201coptimal state of health\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s how you use a Structure\/Function Claim properly and legally without making a drug claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Powerful Dietary Supplement Claims<\/b><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Making powerful claims and being on the good side of the law, all comes down to two things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First, not making any form of drug claims whatsoever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Second, only making Structure \/ Function Claims in your marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Structure \/  Function Claim is one that describes the role of a nutrient or dietary ingredient intended to affect normal structure or function on the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It characterizes how a nutrient or dietary ingredient acts to maintain such normal structure or function, or describes general well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In summary, just remember to stay away from saying or implying that your dietary supplement is treating, curing or preventing conditions, diseases, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
