Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies was asked to provide a scientific opinion on a list of health claims pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. This opinion addresses the scientific substantiation of health claims in relation to branched-chain amino acids and growth or maintenance of muscle mass, attenuation of the decline in muscle power following exercise at high altitude, faster recovery from muscle fatigue after exercise, improvement of cognitive function after exercise, reduction in perceived exertion during exercise and “healthy immune system”. The scientific substantiation is based on the information provided by the Member States in the consolidated list of Article 13 health claims and references that EFSA has received from Member States or directly from stakeholders. The food constituent that is the subject of the health claims is branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). The Panel considers that branched-chain amino acids is sufficiently characterised.

Abstract
Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies was asked to provide a scientific opinion on a list of health claims pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. This opinion addresses the scientific substantiation of health claims in relation to branched-chain amino acids and growth or maintenance of muscle mass, attenuation of the decline in muscle power following exercise at high altitude, faster recovery from muscle fatigue after exercise, improvement of cognitive function after exercise, reduction in perceived exertion during exercise and “healthy immune system”. The scientific substantiation is based on the information provided by the Member States in the consolidated list of Article 13 health claims and references that EFSA has received from Member States or directly from stakeholders. The food constituent that is the subject of the health claims is branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). The Panel considers that branched-chain amino acids is sufficiently characterised.
