Scientific Opinion on the Substantiation of a Health Claim Related to KF2BL20 and Maintenance of Normal Hair Pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006

The Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) reviewed a health claim related to KF2BL20, a combination of keratin, copper, zinc, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, and D-biotin, for maintaining normal hair. Despite the claim that KF2BL20 helps reinforce hair strength and reduce hair loss, the Panel found the supporting study to be uncontrolled and insufficient for substantiating the claim. Consequently, the Panel concluded that there was no established cause and effect relationship between KF2BL20 consumption and the maintenance of normal hair.
