Scientific Support for Benefits & Claims
Research is constantly uncovering new benefits for nutrients and ingredients. This means potential new claims for your products.
Summarizing research in support of benefits is a critical part of making claims. It is important to have documentation in your files to substantiate any claims you make, including structure-function claims.
And, if you are interested in submitting a health claim to the FDA or EFSA, we can help you pull together the scientific support and develop a health claim dossier and application. We have experience working with regulatory professionals and submitting claims applications in both the U.S. and EU.
