When evaluating health-related products, be skeptical. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. According to the FTC, here are some signs of a fraudulent claim:

• Statements that suggest the product can treat or cure diseases. For example: "shrinks tumors" or "cures impotency."
• Promotions that use words like "scientific breakthrough," "miraculous cure," "secret ingredient" or "ancient remedy."
• Undocumented case histories or personal testimonials by consumers or doctors claiming amazing results.
• Limited availability and advance payment requirements. For example: "Hurry. This offer will not last. Send us a check now to reserve your supply."
• Promises of no-risk "money-back guarantees."
