Pdf: various food(s)/food constituent(s) not supported by pertinent human data
1.10. Usuwanie metali ciężkich (ID 1871)
The claimed effect is “alginate binds heavy metals, stimulates mucin production and protects the colon, N-acetylcysteine detoxifies and removes heavy metals, piperine increases the bioavailability of n-acetylcysteine”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
In the context of the proposed wordings and of the references provided, the Panel assumes that the claimed effect refers to the elimination of heavy metals.
The Panel considers that elimination of heavy metals is a beneficial physiological effect.
2.10. Usuwanie metali ciężkich (ID 1871)
The references provided in relation to this claim were studies which assessed the effects of food(s)/food constituent(s) other than the specific combination of food constituents which is the subject of the claim. The Panel considers that no conclusions can be drawn from these references for the scientific substantiation of the claim.
No human studies which investigated the effects of the specific combination of food constituents on elimination of heavy metals were provided in relation to the claim evaluated in this section.
The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of the specific combination of food constituents which is the subject of the claim evaluated in this section and elimination of heavy metals.

Does claim rely on the presence/presence in a reduced quantity/absence of a nutrient or other substance:
Presence of a nutrient or other substance
Number of nutrients/other substances that are essential to claimed effect: 3
Names of nutrient/other substances and Quantity in Average daily serving: 5g sodium alginate, 600 mg n-acetyl cysteine, 15 mg piperine
Weight of average daily food serving: 150 mililitre(s)
Daily amount to be consumed to produce claimed effect: 450 mililitre(s)
Number of food portions this equates to in everyday food portions: 1
Are there factors that could interfere with bioavailability: Yes
Please give reason: Alginate forms a gel in the stomach and it may trap a portion of N-acetyl-cysteine. Piperine increases the bioavailability of the untrapped portion of N-acetyl cysteine thus increaing its efficacy.
Length of time after consumption for claimed effect to become apparent: up to 6 weeks
Is there a limit to the amount of food which should be consumed in order to avoid adverse health effects: Don't Know
