EFSA structure/function claims
Understanding the nutrients
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluates health claims made about food and nutrients sold in the UK and EU. EFSA's approved structure/function claims describe the established nutritional roles of specific nutrients - they are not product-level claims and do not describe the action of any supplement brand. The claims below apply to the nutrients as ingredients.
Zinc
Zinc contributes to the normal maintenance of nails. Zinc also contributes to normal skin maintenance. These are EFSA-approved structure/function claims (Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006).
EFSA ID: zinc / nails and skin
Biotin
Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal nails. This is an EFSA-approved structure/function claim for the B-vitamin biotin (also known as vitamin B7).
EFSA ID: biotin / nails
Vitamin E
Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin E skin protection applies at the cellular level and is an established EFSA-approved claim for this fat-soluble antioxidant.

Key questions about these nutrients
Yes - "zinc contributes to the normal maintenance of nails" is an EFSA-approved claim, meaning there is sufficient scientific consensus at the nutrient level to support this description. Zinc is also recognised for contributing to normal skin maintenance.
Biotin (vitamin B7) contributes to the maintenance of normal nails - an EFSA-approved structure/function claim. Biotin is a water-soluble B-vitamin that plays a role in multiple metabolic processes, including those relevant to keratin formation.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant. Its EFSA-approved claim - "contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress" - reflects its established role in protecting cell membranes from oxidative damage. This is relevant to skin and nail cell health in a general nutritional sense.
No. Orivelle-pen is a food supplement. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The nutrient claims described on this page are structure/function claims at the ingredient level, as approved by EFSA under Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
