Sadly, they get around all the regulation by not making specific medical claims. If they did, then regulation would come down on them like a ton of bricks (as it did to producers of Cherries at one point). It's the difference between saying "Product X will cure Y" (illegal unless it's gone through all the testing) and "Product X may promote health" (which is entirely legal). It doesn't make much sense.
