reserved for people at increased health risks who have not been able to lose weight afer a 6-
month program of diet and exercise. The goal for weight loss in the frst 6 months is 10% of

are devoid of adulterants, contaminants, and impurites and that labels refect the contents—
these standards do not ensure safety and efcacy. Efcacy claims must be provided but are
not required to prove these claims; a claim to efcacy does not guarantee safety. Regulatons
prohibitng disease- specifc claims do not ensure safety. The FDA does not approve dietary
supplements prior to marketng.
