EFSA accepts claim for Vit D to prevent risk of falling

Scientific Opinion on the substantiation of a health claim related to vitamin D and risk of falling pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006
Reference: EFSA-Q-2010-01233
VIT D2 and D3 “reduces the risk of falling. Falling is a risk factor for fractures”
in Men and women 60 years of age and older.

EFSA opinion: a cause and effect relationship has been established between the intake of vitamin D and a reduction in the risk of falling. In order to obtain the claimed effect, 800 I.U. (20 microg) of vitamin D from all sources should be consumed daily.

La vitamina D (Vit D2 e D3) riduce il rischio di cadute e questo costituisce un fattore di rischio per le fratture.
L'organismo europeo per la sicurezza alimentare EFSA ha dato parere positivo per un claim preventivo sul rischio di cadute per la Vit D negli adulti con età superiore ai 60 anni.
