The ASEAN Traditional Medicine / Health Supplement Claims Framework consists of separate frameworks for traditional medicine claims and health supplement claims.
For health supplement claims, there are three types allowed:
-
General or Nutritional Claims
-
Functional Claims
- Disease Risk Reduction Claims
Each type of health supplement claim requires a proportional degree of supporting evidence corresponding to the type of claims and a totality of scientific evidence that demonstrates the beneficial effect.
Health claims substantiation will also be based on the finished product, or ingredient(s).
