Thank you, I appreciate that. Our best council tells me that a nutraceutical does not need FDA approvals.
Definition: The term nutraceutical was coined in the 1990's by Dr. Stephen DeFelice. He defined nutraceutical as:
'A nutraceutical is any substance that is a food or a part of a food and provides medical or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease. Such products may range from isolated nutrients, dietary supplements and specific diets to genetically engineered designer foods, herbal products, and processed foods such as cereals, soups and beverages. It is important to note that this definition applies to all categories of food and parts of food, ranging from dietary supplements such as folic acid, used for the prevention of spina bifida, to chicken soup, taken to lessen the discomfort of the common cold. This definition also includes a bio-engineered designer vegetable food, rich in antioxidant ingredients, and a stimulant functional food or pharmafood.'

If you read the web page of Garlique, a well known garlic supplement, you will see plenty of disclaimers and careful wording of every statement. There is little doubt that HCCF will need to be cautious in its claims, but I don't believe that there is any reason for the FDA to prevent HPB-84 from coming to market. Also look at the web page of Diatroxal, HCCF's competition. Your posting about prohibited claims is not a concern, in my opinion.
