The most accurate assumption you can make about a dietary supplement that includes the word "natural" on the label is:

"Nothing; these products are not reviewed by the FDA."

The term "natural" is not strictly defined by the FDA for dietary supplements, and products labeled as such can vary widely in quality and contents. Therefore, there is no guarantee that the product meets any specific standards regarding its ingredients or safety just because it contains the word "natural."
