Claims and underlying evidence

Scientific work on PeptoPro® provides the clinical evidence to make claims on recovery, endurance and performance.

In Europe, health claims for products are registered under the new health claim legislation (2006/1924/EC). We have submitted several claims related to recovery, endurance and performance on the Industry List to EU Member States. They are expected to be included in the European Community list of Health Claims in 2010:

• Accelerates recovery from exercise
• Helps faster recovery
• Helps enhance endurance
• Increases the time to fatigue during exercise
• Helps better performance
• Helps to increase physical performance

In the USA, Structure/Function (S/F) claims for PeptoPro® in consumer products are based on S/F claims for comparable ingredients previously notified to the FDA and which raised no objections:

• PeptoPro® as pre-digested protein is a recovery ingredient for fast muscle refueling
• The protein in PeptoPro® aids the body in supplying longer-lasting energy
• PeptoPro® protein helps an athlete recover faster after a period of exercise
• PeptoPro® offers all the biological benefits of natural milk protein without the side effects associated with consumption of lactose Provides nutritional support for muscles during times of strenuous activity
• PeptoPro® for Fast Muscle Refueling
• The protein in PeptoPro® encourages muscle recovery and repair

We have prepared a selection of scientific papers providing examples of the evidence underlying these claims. This is, however, only a limited part of the experiments that have been performed to test the efficacy of PeptoPro®.
