Always Consult Your Healthcare Provider
Before starting any new dietary supplement, nutrition program, exercise regimen, or making changes to your existing healthcare routine, you should consult with a qualified healthcare professional. This is especially important if you:
- Have had bariatric surgery or are planning to have weight loss surgery

- Have known allergies or sensitivities to any ingredients

Dietary Supplement Information
Dietary supplements are regulated by the FDA under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). Under this law, dietary supplements are regulated differently than conventional foods and drugs. The FDA does not approve dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness before they are marketed.
The manufacturer of a dietary supplement is responsible for ensuring that the product is safe and that any claims made about the product are substantiated and not misleading. The FDA can take action against a dietary supplement product after it is on the market if it is found to be unsafe or if the claims made are false or misleading.
Structure/Function Claims
Dietary supplement labels may contain statements about how a nutrient or dietary ingredient may affect the structure or function of the body. These are known as "structure/function claims." Such claims do not require FDA approval before use, but the manufacturer must have substantiation that the claim is truthful and not misleading. These claims must be accompanied by the disclaimer: "This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease."
