\u201cAntioxidant\u201d properties can be attributed to 147 plant species, according to Italian guidelines on food supplements.<\/p>\n

Plants, algae, fungi, and derived preparations (the so-called botanicals<\/em>) still live quite a diversified situation on the European market landscape. Directive 2002\/46\/EC laid the groundwork for food supplements, but focused on vitamins and minerals. EC Regulation 1924\/2006 on nutrition and health claims hasn\u2019t fully reached its purpose concerning this category of products yet: the majority of the botanical claim requests submitted to EFSA for an evaluation remain, to this day, still pending.<\/p>\n

Italy, which is characterized by a flourishing tradition of food supplements based on plant extracts, acted swiftly to regulate the use of botanicals, and their claims, on a national level. An Italian ministerial decree (Decreto Ministeriale) was conceived in 2012, bearing a positive list of more than 1200 allowed plants allowed plants and their conditions of use, as well as some reference guidelines<\/strong> on their \u201cphysiological effects<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Over time the list of allowed plants has been updated, notably in light of the creation of the BelFrIt list. In 2018, a new decree (DM 10 agosto 2018, Disciplina dell’impiego negli integratori alimentari di sostanze e preparati vegetali<\/em><\/a>) has replaced the previous one; its last revision dates to July 2019.<\/p>\n

The guidelines on the physiological effects<\/strong> of botanicals<\/strong> mention a variety of possible actions supporting human body functions, ranging from \u201cdigestive system functionality\u201d to \u201cwell-being and trophism of mucous membranes\u201d. One of the possible physiological effects is, as mentioned, \u201cantioxidant\u201d. It can be referred to 147 species on the list. Allius sativum<\/em> (garlic) bulbs, Curcuma longa<\/em> (turmeric) rhizome, and Theobroma cacao<\/em> (cacao tree) seeds are just some examples of plant parts that can claim antioxidant properties.<\/p>\n

This ministerial decree helps greatly to appreciate and communicate in a responsible way the effects of plant-based food supplements.<\/p>\n

For more information, you can consult the text of the decree \u2013 in Italian \u2013<\/a> of the Italian ministry of health (Ministero della Salute).<\/p>\n

Orchidali can help you in the preparation and writing of regulatory files. <\/a><\/em><\/strong>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
