On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared St. Clair explains why supplement companies and their labels—and even educators like Jared—have to sound so careful about the claims they make. You’ll learn how DSHEA (the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act) reshaped the supplement industry in the 1990s, why brands can say “supports healthy joints” but can’t say “treats arthritis,” and what “structure/function claims” really mean. Jared also breaks down the FDA-required disclaimer (“These statements have not been evaluated…”) so you know what it does and doesn’t imply about whether a product works. Finally, he gives a practical label-reading skill most shoppers miss: serving size math, so you can tell what you’re actually getting per capsule and per day.
