Nutrition Supplements

Topic summary

Google Ads allows advertising nutritional supplements with significant restrictions. While some supplements are outright prohibited (specific types not detailed in the discussion), the primary challenge is Google’s policy against making any health claims or statements about supplements—even if factually accurate.

Key Requirements:

  • Remove all claims and statements from both the website and product data feed
  • Products can be approved in Google Merchant Center once compliant

Status: The question was answered but remains somewhat open, as the specific list of prohibited supplement types was not identified. Advertisers would need to verify their particular products against Google’s policies and ensure all marketing copy is claim-free.

Is it true that you cannot advertise a website selling Nutritional supplements?…

Ok, thank you for your answer…

Hello Malaga310, great question.

Some supplements are prohibited, but I don’t know which off the top of my head.

But the main issue with selling supplements is that Google doesn’t allow you to make any claims or statements, even if they are factually true.

So you can get your supplement products approved in Google Merchant Center, as long as you remove the claims and statements from the website and data feed.
