Structure/Function Claims on Supplements, Explained
Structure function claims are label statements about how a nutrient affects the body's normal structure or function, such as supporting energy. A supplement may make them with an FDA disclaimer, but may not claim to treat or prevent a disease. FDA does not review these statements before sale.

Definition01
What are structure function claims on a supplement label?
A structure function claim describes an effect on the body's normal structure or function, not a disease.
Federal rules let supplement makers use them if the label carries a disclaimer that FDA has not evaluated the statement (21 CFR 101.93 (structure/function)). A supplement may not claim to diagnose, treat or prevent a disease.
FDA does not approve supplements before they are sold, and a product that treats a disease is regulated as a drug (FDA 101: Dietary Supplements).
The line02
What is the difference between a structure function claim and a disease claim?
A disease claim names an illness or its symptoms. A structure function claim describes normal body function.
| Type | Example wording | Allowed on a supplement? |
|---|---|---|
| Structure/function | Supports healthy energy | Yes, with the FDA disclaimer |
| Structure/function | Supports confidence | Yes, with the FDA disclaimer |
| Disease claim | Treats a named condition | No, that makes it a drug |
| Disease claim | Prevents a disease | No |
Many readers meet this as the dagger. It points to the statement that FDA has not evaluated the claim and that the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Our label03
Which claims on the Stallion Power label are structure function claims?
The front panel carries four, each with a dagger: "Male Enhancement Gummies†", "Boost Performance†", "Support Confidence†" and "Maximum Strength†".
The FDA statement on the bottle reads: †These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
The sales page goes further than the label, with lines such as "Promote healthy blood circulation to support cardiovascular function". We quote it only to compare it with the label.

See packsEvidence04
Does a structure function claim need proof?
Yes. The FTC expects any health claim to be backed by reliable evidence, and human clinical evidence is the usual standard (FTC, Health Products Compliance Guidance).
FDA does not check that evidence before sale. The disclaimer means the check falls to you.
No trial has tested Stallion Power. The label gives only the 82 mg blend total, and the amounts of the nine lines are hidden, which the rules allow (21 CFR 101.36 (proprietary blends)). By our arithmetic from the label order, not a lab test, each line after caffeine is 5 mg or less.
Reading tips05
How should you read a supplement claim?
Treat it as a marketing statement, not a medical finding.
- Find the dagger and read the disclaimer it points to.
- Ask what evidence exists for the finished product, not only the ingredients.
- Talk with your doctor if you take medicine or have a condition.
Keep taking prescribed medicine as directed. For more on label reading, see the Supplement Facts page.

FAQ06
Stallion Power questions people ask
Does a dagger on a label mean FDA checked the claim?
No. The dagger points to the statement that FDA has not evaluated the claim. FDA does not approve supplements before sale (FDA 101: Dietary Supplements). The mark signals a structure function claim, not an endorsement (21 CFR 101.93 (structure/function)).
Can a supplement say it treats a disease?
No. A supplement may not claim to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent a disease; such a claim makes the product a drug (21 CFR 101.93 (structure/function)) (FDA 101: Dietary Supplements). It may describe effects on normal body function with the disclaimer.
Who checks structure function claims?
The company must be able to support them, and the FTC expects reliable evidence (FTC, Health Products Compliance Guidance). FDA does not review them beforehand. Regulators can act after a product reaches the market.
Is 'Boost Performance' a structure function claim?
The label presents it with a dagger, which marks a structure function style statement (21 CFR 101.93 (structure/function)). No trial has tested Stallion Power, so the claim has no product-specific evidence behind it.
