Strategic Data Expansion 2026.4
The UK’s ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) in 2026 has introduced AI-driven monitoring to crack down on social media influencers making unsubstantiated longevity claims. Under the new rules, terms like 'reverses aging' or 'DNA repair' can only be used if supported by peer-reviewed human clinical data on the specific product being sold. Cosmetic products must strictly use 'appearance-based' claims (e.g., 'reduces the look of wrinkles'), while ingestible supplements must adhere to the authorized Great Britain nutrition and health claims (NHC) register.
