1.1. Wpływ na wzrost i utrzymanie masy mięśniowej (ID 858, 1536, 1540, 4038, 4712)
The claimed effects are “guard against symptoms of fatigue of skeleton muscle cells”, “increasing strength”, “strength and energy”, and “muscle development”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
In the context of the proposed wordings, the Panel assumes that the claimed effects refer to the growth or maintenance of muscle mass by decreasing muscle breakdown, increasing muscle synthesis or both. Failure to increase muscle mass during growth and development, and the loss of muscle mass at any age will reduce muscle strength and power.
The Panel considers that growth or maintenance of muscle mass is a beneficial physiological effect.
2.1. Wpływ na wzrost i utrzymanie masy mięśniowej (ID 858, 1536, 1540, 4038, 4712)
The references provided in relation to these claims included textbooks, narrative reviews or monographs which did not provide any original data for the scientific substantiation of the claims and human intervention studies on the effects of food constituents other than the specific combination of food constituents which is the subject of some claims (ID 1536, 1540, 4712). The Panel considers that no conclusions can be drawn from these references for the scientific substantiation of the claims.
No human studies which investigated the effects of the food(s)/food constituent(s)/combination of food constituents on the growth or maintenance of muscle mass were provided in relation to any of the claims evaluated in this section.
Two references addressed the effects of the food(s)/food constituent(s) on muscle contractility, on the generation of free radicals and on lipid peroxidation in skeletal muscle in vitro using muscle biopsies and electrical stimulation. The Panel considers that evidence provided in in vitro studies is not sufficient to predict the occurrence of an effect of the consumption of the food(s)/food constituent(s) on the growth or maintenance of muscle mass in vivo in humans.
The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of the food(s)/food constituent(s)/combination of food constituents, which are the subject of the claims evaluated in this section, and growth or maintenance of muscle mass.
