2. Znaczenie oświadczenia dla zdrowia człowieka
The claimed effect is “digestive health”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
“Digestive health” is not sufficiently defined. From the proposed wordings “metabolism and appetite affecting properties, which cause reduction of body weight” the Panel assumes that the claimed effect refers to the maintenance or achievement of a normal body weight. In this context, even a moderate weight loss in overweight subjects without achieving a normal body weight is considered beneficial to health.
The Panel considers that the maintenance or achievement of a normal body weight is beneficial to human health.
