Supplement Label & Claims Verification Worksheet

A confident label isn't the same as a compliant one

Marketing copy and the actual ingredient panel don't always agree — a dose can be lower than what's implied on the front of the pack, and a claim can quietly cross from "supports" into disease-treatment territory. Spotting the gap takes going through the label and the marketing side by side, not just a skim.

This worksheet walks the label and the claims through the same checks a regulator or a savvy buyer would use, before you buy or before you build a complaint.

• Ingredient/Dosage Cross-Check — compares the front-of-pack claim against the actual ingredient panel and serving size
• Health-Claims Risk Checklist — sorts each claim into wellness/structure-function language versus disease-treatment language
• Certification & Testing Verification Table — records which third-party marks are claimed, and whether they check out

Step by step

1. Copy the front-of-pack claims and the full ingredient panel into the worksheet.
2. Cross-check the actual dose per serving against what the marketing implies.
3. Sort every health claim using the risk checklist — wellness language or disease-treatment language.
4. Verify any certification mark claimed on the label against the certifying body's own records.
