摘要
Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies was asked to provide a scientific opinion on a list of health claims pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. This opinion addresses the scientific substantiation of health claims in relation to spermidine and contribution to normal hair growth. The scientific substantiation is based on the information provided by the Member States in the consolidated list of Article 13 health claims and references that EFSA has received from Member States or directly from stakeholders. The food constituent that is the subject of the health claim is spermidine. The Panel considers that spermidine is sufficiently characterised. The claimed effect is "skin and annexes health". The target population is assumed to be the general population. In the context of the proposed wordings, the Panel assumes that the claimed effect refers to contribution to normal hair growth. The Panel considers that contribution to normal hair growth is a beneficial physiological effect. No references have been provided from which conclusions could be drawn for the scientific substantiation of the claim. On the basis of the data presented, the Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of spermidine and contribution to normal hair growth.
