  injury" when used as directed on the label, or
  under normal conditions of use (if there are no
  directions).

  ingredient (i.e., an ingredient not marketed for
  dietary supplement use in the U.S. prior to
  October 15, 1994) may be adulterated when there
  is inadequate information to provide reasonable

  as the claim linking folic acid and reduce risk
  of neural tube birth defects and the claim that
