Summary
Weight management content guide expanded with explicit prohibitions: ban on weight-loss promises, before-and-after photos, detox claims, ingredient attribution, high-risk keywords, and personal testimonials crediting products.
Why it matters
Sellers and creators promoting weight/fitness products face tighter restrictions. Violations can trigger content removal, listing suspension, or account penalties. Pre-existing inventory and testimonial-based campaigns may now violate without language changes.
Recommended action
Audit all weight-management product listings, videos, and affiliate content for banned keywords, detox language, before-and-afters, and ingredient claims. Remove or rewrite to use only approved wellness language (energy, balance, feel-good messaging).
