Supplement claims and the FDA disclaimer.
A supplement may say what it does for the body, but then needs the FDA's disclaimer beside it, and a notice to the FDA within 30 days of first selling it. It may never claim to treat or cure a disease. Obelus reads each product's copy, marks the claims, flags sentences that read as disease claims, checks the disclaimer is there in the right form, and can add it with an asterisk on each claim. It drafts the FDA notice per product. It flags for a person to read and never decides a claim is lawful.
