Early Findings
Data Availability
The data availability is adequate. The required source is
the attached document
that contains an exhaustive list of all the dietary ingredients reviewed by EFSA for their respective health claims.
Ingredients for Sleep
Melatonin
Melatonin contributes to the reduction of time taken to fall asleep.
Useful for the reduction of sleep onset latency.
Ingredients for Stress
Copper
Copper contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Useful for the protection of DNA, proteins and lipids from oxidative damage.
Manganese
Manganese contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Useful for the metabolism of fatty acids.
Olive oil polyphenols
Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress.
Useful for protection of LDL particles from oxidative damage.
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
Riboflavin contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Useful for the protection of DNA, proteins and lipids from oxidative damage.
Selenium
Selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Useful for the protection of DNA, proteins and lipids from oxidative damage.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Useful for the protection of DNA, proteins and lipids from oxidative damage.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Useful for the protection of DNA, proteins and lipids from oxidative damage.
Zinc
Zinc contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Useful for the protection of DNA, proteins and lipids from oxidative damage.

for Heart Health
Ei
cosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (EPA/DHA)
EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.
Useful for maintenance of normal cardiac function.
Magnesium
Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Useful for neurotransmission and muscle contraction, including heart muscle.
It also contributes to normal muscle function.
Thiamine
Thiamine contributes to the normal function of the heart.
Monounsaturated and/or Polyunsaturated fatty acids
Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats in the diet has been shown to lower/reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease.
Barley beta-glucans
Barley beta-glucans has been shown to lower/reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease.
Oat beta-glucan
Oat beta-glucan has been shown to lower/reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease.
Plant stanol esters
Plant stanol esters have been shown to lower/reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease.
Plant sterols/Plant stanol esters
Plant sterols and plant stanol esters have been shown to lower/reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease.
Plant sterols
(Sterols extracted from plants, free or esterified with food-grade fatty acids)
Plant sterols have been shown to lower/reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease.
Summary
The initial hour of research listed
the EFSA approved ingredients
for the health conditions of sleep, stress, and heart health. The research also found several ingredients that were either not approved by the EFSA or were de-authorised later on after further studies by the EFSA. Such ingredients were neglected during this research.
