Nutrient knowledge & reference values
Nutrient knowledge & reference values
General nutrient information for interpreting the product dosage. Signs of insufficient or excessive intake are non-specific and do not replace a diagnosis.
Zinc
Zinc is an essential trace element. The assessment considers the EU NRV, total intake, product dose and interactions—particularly with copper and medicines—separately.
Functions
EU-authorised health-claim functions include, among other things: zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, normal cognitive function, normal DNA synthesis, normal fertility and reproduction, and normal acid-base and carbohydrate metabolism. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, hair, nails, skin and vision, protects cells from oxidative stress and has a role in the process of cell division.
Possible signs of insufficient intake
Zinc deficiency can be associated, among other things, with loss of appetite, impaired taste and smell, delayed wound healing, hair loss, growth impairment and increased susceptibility to infections. These symptoms are nonspecific and do not allow self-diagnosis.
Points to consider at high intake
Excessive zinc intake can cause nausea, vomiting, headaches and gastrointestinal symptoms. Chronically high amounts can inhibit copper absorption and thereby promote copper deficiency. The European EFSA/SCF UL for adults is 25 mg of zinc per day from total intake.
Special considerations
An increased risk of inadequate zinc intake exists, among other situations, with certain gastrointestinal diseases or after bariatric surgery, with strongly plant-based diets with low zinc bioavailability, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and with chronically high alcohol consumption.
Interactions / caution
Zinc can reduce the absorption of quinolone and tetracycline antibiotics as well as penicillamine; dosing intervals should be observed. Thiazide diuretics can increase zinc excretion. Long-term high zinc intake can reduce copper absorption.
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential water-soluble vitamin. presents physiological functions, the EU NRV, safety assessment and product-specific dosage separately.
Functions
EU-authorised health-claim functions include, among other things: vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth. It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system and immune system, and the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and increases iron absorption.
Possible signs of insufficient intake
Severe vitamin C deficiency can lead to scurvy. Reported signs include fatigue, inflammation of the gums, pinpoint bleeding, increased capillary fragility and delayed wound healing. Such symptoms are not suitable for self-diagnosis.
Points to consider at high intake
EFSA was unable to derive a UL for vitamin C because of insufficient data. High additional intake can mainly cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea, nausea, bloating or abdominal cramps. With very high amounts, individual risk factors should be taken into account.
Special considerations
An increased risk of inadequate intake exists, among other situations, with a very one-sided diet, malabsorption and in smokers or people with substantial passive-smoke exposure. In haemochromatosis, particular caution is advisable with high-dose vitamin C because it increases non-haem iron absorption.
Interactions / caution
Vitamin C can increase non-haem iron absorption. High-dose supplementation in haemochromatosis should only be used after professional consultation. During chemotherapy or radiotherapy, high-dose antioxidant supplementation should be coordinated with the treating team.
