Approved claims by category: Weight and BMI 4, Body fat 4, Walking ability and exercise 4
Moderate exercise is effective for reducing body fat. The alanine, arginine, and phenylalanine mixture in this product, made up of three amino acids, further increases the ability to break down and burn fat when combined with physical activity such as walking for about 10 minutes, so it raises fat metabolism and helps reduce body fat further. This product is suitable for people with a high BMI.
FOSHU products are reviewed and approved one by one by the government (Consumer Affairs Agency) for effectiveness and safety. The counts are of products whose functional ingredient matches this ingredient. Source: Consumer Affairs Agency, list of approved FOSHU products (Japanese). Claims are our translation.

No claim in the EU register
- No claim for this ingredient is listed in the EU health claims register. In the EU, the evaluation of many botanical claims (about 2,000) remains on hold, and those are not listed in the register.
In the EU, only health claims whose evidence has been assessed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and authorised by the European Commission may be used on food. “Not authorised” means the evidence for that claim was not established under EU standards — not that the ingredient is dangerous.
