I N t r o d u C t I o N determining what we can and cannot say about Nsp products can be confusing at times. This pamphlet is designed to provide Nsp distributors with several examples of product claims that are unacceptable under the law, as well as alternative structure-function claims that are acceptable as long as they are used in a manner that is truthful, not misleading and substantiated. As an independent business leader, you are ultimately responsible for how you run your business. We hope that this pamphlet will be helpful to you in that process.
d I S C l A I m e r This pamphlet is provided to you as a service. The claims listed in this pamphlet are intended as a guide and do not represent a complete, comprehensive or exhaustive list of potential unacceptable or acceptable claims. in addition, the claims listed in this pamphlet as acceptable are subject to change without notice from Nsp as a result of changes in federal, state or local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations.
