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.
