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 L-lysine and immune defence against herpes virus, maintenance of normal blood LDL-cholesterol concentrations, increase in appetite leading to an increase in energy intake, contribution to normal protein synthesis, maintenance of normal bone, and increase in calcium absorption leading to an increase in calcium retention. 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 L-lysine. The Panel considers that L-lysine 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 L-lysine and immune defence against herpes virus, maintenance of normal blood LDL-cholesterol concentrations, increase in appetite leading to an increase in energy intake, contribution to normal protein synthesis, maintenance of normal bone, and increase in calcium absorption leading to an increase in calcium retention. 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 L-lysine. The Panel considers that L-lysine is sufficiently characterised.
