About NUTRAVERIS: www.nutraveris.com
Nutraveris is the leading European consulting company regarding Scientific & Regulatory affairs in Nutrition and Health. Our mission is to support successful business strategies in Europe, applying to health food products, with scientific and regulatory services: Food law, Registration, Health claims, Legal solutions, Formulation, Scientific substantiation, Clinical trials, Functional foods, Parnuts, Food supplements.

In the Nutrition & health market, scientific and regulatory data is of strategic importance. It often makes the difference against competition, especially when used for innovation, to identify ingredients with best proven activity, or for international development, leading to chose more reachable markets.

However, it is difficult to turn this data into a clear and complete overview, as information is spread over the web, sometimes expensive or even not accessible, and constantly changing. This is the need Nutraveris intends to satisfy, launching today the advanced version of its world-reference database: Nutraveris On-Line 2.0.

“Previous version has already convinced a large number of users in only 3 years”, says Cedric Bourges, CEO of the European-leading scientific and regulatory consultancy. Indeed, Nutraveris On-Line has been chosen as a premium source of data by more than 150 industrialists.

“Nutraveris On-Line access includes scientific and regulatory monthly reports, providing new scientific substantiation, and last requirements from European administrations” says a subscribing project director at L’Oréal. Nutraveris On-Line also brings a lot to regulatory affairs, especially concerning health claims, as mentions a marketing manager at Forever Living: “we are continuously adapting our communications on our brochure. With the help of Nutraveris On-Line database, we are able to evaluate health claims still usable from those we should stop rapidly”.

Today, the 2.0 version makes this strategic information even quicker, enabling to be extremely reactive. The new “personalized watch” function sends notifications as soon as new studies or regulations are published about a pre-selected health application or ingredient, with clear and objective synthesis. With this new function comes the possibility to cumulate research criteria (e.g. to obtain all clinical studies and EFSA 13.1 positive opinions on a particular ingredient and health application), plus a whole lot of visual and ergonomic improvements.

The database is still being live-updated by Nutraveris experts, involving a weekly research and analysis of more than 1,500 publications and opinions. It provides complete answers on all ingredients and health applications that could possibly be used in Europe, which means more than 2,100 ingredients (vitamins, minerals, plants) and 132 health applications (weight management, joint health, immune system…).

According to this in vitro study performed to evaluate the effect of the supplementation of soft drinks with green tea extract, a natural inhibitor of MMPs, on their erosive potential against dentine, this supplementation might be a viable alternative.

Results showed a significant difference among the drinks tested (Coca-Cola™, Kuat™ guarana, Sprite™ and light Coca-Cola™) with Sprite™ leading to the highest dentine surface loss and light Coca-Cola™ to the lowest. Supplementation with green tea extract reduced the surface loss by 15% to 40%.

This study provides a way of reflexion to reduce the deleterious effect of soft drinks in a context France plans a special tax to these products.
