The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to allow new claims on foods and dietary supplements containing calcium and Vitamin D to show their potential to reduce the risk of osteoporosis. The proposed rule would allow manufacturers to include new information on their food and supplement labeling and to eliminate certain other information, described below:

Vitamin D deficiency may be a common but unrecognized problem among U.S. adolescents, because U.S. children increasingly fill up on soft drinks. and spend more time in front of the TV or computer than outdoors.Researchers found that among 11- to 18-year-olds living in Boston, nearly one-quarter were deficient in vitamin D, a nutrient that aids in calcium absorption and is vital for healthy bone development. The problem is preventable with an adequate diet and time outdoors. The body naturally synthesizes vitamin D when the skin is exposed to the sun, and milk and certain other foods, including many breakfast cereals, are fortified with the vitamin.

• “This is important information for all citizens,” said Robert E. Brackett, Ph.D., director of FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Nutrition. “All persons lose bone with age, and the loss can influence an individual's risk of developing osteoporosis. Maintenance of an adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D in all stages of life can help lower one’s risk.”
  
• The proposed rule would amend one of the first health claims authorized in 1993 through the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 for the relationship between calcium intake and osteoporosis. The proposal would amend this existing health claim by allowing for claims of a reduced risk of osteoporosis with the consumption of both calcium and vitamin D.


• The proposed rule also would eliminate certain requirements that were a part of the required claim language in the existing calcium and osteoporosis health claim. However, FDA is not changing its conclusion that there is still significant scientific agreement to support claims for calcium intake and reduced risk of osteoporosis.


• “Osteoporosis is a significant public health problem, especially for women,” said Kathleen Uhl, MD, assistant commissioner of FDA’s Office of Women’s Health. “This new labeling should assist consumers to select foods - and women especially since women do the majority of food shopping in the US - that provide adequate calcium and Vitamin D intake and hopefully prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis in themselves and their family members.”


• FDA’s decision to amend the existing health claim is based on the agency’s review of the publicly available scientific evidence, which included the 2004 Surgeon General’s report on Bone Health and Osteoporosis and the 2000 NIH Consensus Statement on Osteoporosis, Prevention, Diagnosis and Therapy.




Specifically, the FDA is proposing to change the calcium and osteoporosis health claim to:

• Add a claim for calcium and vitamin D together and a reduced risk of osteoporosis

Types of natural Vitamin E
Although several types of natural vitamin E compounds are available, including alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherol, Alpha-tocopherol seems to be the most active. However, it seems prudent to supplement with vitamin E products that have mixed tocopherols as opposed to just alpha tocopherol, because supplementation of diets with alpha tocopherol reduces serum concentrations of gamma- and delta- tocopherol in humans.

Synthetic Vitamin E versus natural Vitamin E
On a supplement label, natural vitamin E is listed as d-alpha tocopherol. In contrast, synthetic forms of vitamin E are labeled with a dl- prefix. Many studies evaluating the role of Vitamin E in health and disease have focused mostly on synthetic vitamin E supplements. Results of studies using natural and mixed forms of vitamin E have, in many cases, been completely different.

• Giving nursing home residents a daily dose of vitamin E may offer a little help in reducing the risk of upper respiratory tract infections, such as the common cold, according to new study findings released Tuesday. Studies have shown that vitamin E can boost the immune system in the elderly, and in the current study, slightly fewer people who received vitamin E supplements developed one or more respiratory infection of any kind during the study period. Vitamin E recipients also appeared somewhat less likely to develop the common cold. (Journal of the American Medical Association, August 18, 2004)
