Solution

The answer is: "structure/function" claim.

Explanation:

A "structure/function" claim is used on dietary supplements and food labels to describe the role of a nutrient or dietary ingredient intended to affect the normal structure or function of the human body. For example, a product might claim to "support bone health" or "promote healthy digestion."
These claims do not require FDA approval, but they must be truthful and not misleading. They differ from health claims, which describe a relationship between a food substance and a reduced risk of a disease or health-related condition and require FDA approval.
In this context, since the question refers to maintaining a body part or promoting a body process, the appropriate term is "structure/function" claim.
