Teeth and gums and Metabolism and Bones

1394 capsules across 48 ingredients

Teeth and gums. The register authorises wording about the maintenance of normal teeth for several minerals and vitamins, quoted exactly on their pages. Brushing, fluoride and regular check-ups do the real work; the Oral Health Foundation is the specialist charity.

Metabolism. The register's phrase is 'contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism', and many everyday vitamins and minerals hold it. It is not a claim about weight or about feeling energetic, which is why this goal sits apart from Weight and from Tiredness and fatigue. Wording is quoted exactly on each ingredient page.

Bones. Ingredients here hold register claims relating to the maintenance of normal bones, quoted exactly on their pages. Weight-bearing exercise and dietary calcium are the foundations, and the Royal Osteoporosis Society is the specialist charity for anything further.

Nothing here is medical advice. The wording is the GB register's, quoted exactly; whether a product qualifies to use it is the seller's responsibility. Speak to a GP or pharmacist before taking a supplement, especially if you are pregnant, take medicines or have a diagnosed condition. Wording from the GB nutrition and health claims register; mapping reviewed 4 September 2026.
