# AI agents and health and wellness stores

Health and wellness carries the most constrained language of any retail category: what a product may claim is regulated, so the useful facts are stated carefully and often as images. That combination, high-stakes questions and low-structure answers, is what makes the evaluate stage the hard one here.

## What makes this category harder

- Dosage, ingredients and warnings are exactly what a shopper asks about and are usually prose or graphics.
- Claims are constrained by regulation, so pages hedge in ways an agent reads as absence.
- Subscription and bundle pricing makes a single price hard to state.

## Where agents stop, and why here

- ingredient and warning panels are photographed rather than typed (https://ottom.io/learn/stalls/policy-in-image)
- bundles and subscriptions obscure the single figure an agent needs (https://ottom.io/learn/stalls/missing-price-data)
- heavily designed pages commonly carry no product markup at all (https://ottom.io/learn/stalls/missing-schema-org)

## Questions

### We cannot make claims. Does that hurt us with agents?

Not by itself. An agent is not asking you to claim anything, it is asking what is in the product, how much of it, and whether it can be bought. Those are facts rather than claims, and publishing them as text costs you nothing in compliance terms.
