Methylsulphonylmethane (MSM) is an organic sulphur-containing compound containing around 34 % sulphur that occurs naturally in a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains and animals. MSM is measurable in foods by established methods.
The Panel considers that the food constituent, methylsulphonylmethane (MSM), which is the subject of the health claims is sufficiently characterised.

2.8. Produkcja witamin potrzebnych do prawidłowego funkcjonowania metabolizmu (witamina C, H, B5, B13) (ID 393)

The claimed effect is “metabolism of vitamins”. The Panel assumes that the target population is the general population.
In the context of the proposed wording and the clarifications provided by Member States, the Panel notes that the claim refers to “vitamin production needed for correct function of metabolism” and “supports the production of vitamin C, H, B5, B13”. Vitamin C, biotin and pantothenic acid are essential nutrients which cannot be synthesised by the human body, while vitamin B13, which is an old terminology for orotic acid, is not a vitamin.
The Panel notes that “vitamin production needed for correct function of metabolism” in the context of “supports the production of vitamin C, H, B5, B13” cannot be considered as a health relationship applicable to humans.
The Panel considers that the claim does not comply with the criteria laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
