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.
Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in numerous enzymatic reactions. For product assessment, the manufacturer’s dosage, active-ingredient forms and reference values are considered separately.
Functions
Magnesium contributes, among other things, to normal muscle and nerve function and to normal energy-yielding metabolic processes. It is also involved in processes related to protein, bone and DNA.
Possible signs of insufficient intake
Insufficient magnesium intake can present with nonspecific symptoms; possible indications may include neuromuscular complaints. Individual symptoms do not establish a diagnosis and should not be assessed in isolation.
Points to consider at high intake
High amounts from supplements can mainly cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea, nausea and abdominal cramps. With severely impaired kidney function, the risk of magnesium accumulation increases; high doses should then be medically assessed.
Special considerations
With impaired kidney function, magnesium excretion is reduced. Product dose, magnesium form, tolerance and total intake should therefore be considered separately.
Interactions / caution
Magnesium can affect the absorption of certain medicines, including some antibiotics and bisphosphonates. Timing intervals and individual medication should be reviewed with regular use.
Vitamin B6
Manganese
Manganese is an essential trace element and a cofactor for various enzymes. For safety assessment, it is important that EFSA could not derive a UL and instead established a Safe Level for total intake.
Functions
EU-authorised health-claim functions: manganese contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, the maintenance of normal bones, normal formation of connective tissue and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Possible signs of insufficient intake
Manganese deficiency is very rare in humans; typical deficiency symptoms are not clearly established. Limited data have described, among other things, changes in bone metabolism, growth, skin and carbohydrate metabolism. These findings are not suitable for self-diagnosis.
Points to consider at high intake
Excessive manganese exposure can cause neurological damage. In 2023, EFSA was unable to establish a UL and instead uses a Safe Level of 8 mg/day for adults from total intake from all dietary sources. Exceeding the Safe Level does not automatically mean a health risk and must not be interpreted like a UL.
Special considerations
No clearly defined general risk groups for inadequate intake are known. Iron deficiency can increase manganese absorption. In chronic liver disease, biliary excretion may be reduced, which can increase sensitivity to excessive manganese exposure. Occupational inhalation exposure must be distinguished from oral dietary intake.
Interactions / caution
No clinically relevant drug interactions are generally established for manganese. In liver disease and with unusually high total intake, particular caution is warranted because of manganese homeostasis.
Scientific assessment
Studies, meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials on the active ingredient – explained clearly and linked to sources.
