Approved Health Claims

6
  • May help to support a modest improvement to body composition when used with a program of reduced intake of dietary calories and increased physical activity
  • May help to support a modest reduction in fat mass when used with a program of reduced intake of dietary calories and increased physical activity
  • If a body composition/reduction of fat mass claim is made:
  • Improvement of body composition/reduction of fat mass is a long-term process and must therefore be associated with a long-term intervention
  • Medicinal ingredient with diuretic properties may be included in products associated with weight management, however no diuretic claim can be applied as it is associated with a short-term duration of use (occasional use only)
  • Stimulant laxatives cannot be present at therapeutic dose in products associated with weight management as their short term duration of use is not compatible with the duration of use for weight management
