1. Charakterystyka żywności / składnika
The food constituent that is the subject of the health claims is L-glutamine.
Glutamine is a conditionally indispensable amino acid provided by mixed dietary protein intakes from different sources. It can also be consumed as a food supplement. The content of L-glutamine in foods can be measured by established methods.
The Panel considers that the food constituent, L-glutamine, which is the subject of the health claims, is sufficiently characterised.
2.10. Stymulowanie odpowiedzi immunologicznej (ID 1568)
The claimed effect is “immune health”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
In the context of the clarifications provided by Member States, the Panel assumes that the claimed effect refers to stimulating various immunological responses such as increasing mononuclear cell proliferation, cytokine production and nasal IgA after exercise.
The Panel considers that the evidence provided does not establish that stimulation of mononuclear cell proliferation, cytokine production and nasal IgA is a beneficial physiological effect per se.
The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of L-glutamine and a beneficial physiological effect related to the stimulation of mononuclear cell proliferation, cytokine production and nasal IgA.
