GB Non-Authorised Health Claims: Q to Z

Compiled and maintained by the Wellgard Scientific Editorial Team · Official register version: 19 May 2026 · Page updated: 17 October 2026 · Sources checked on: 16 October 2026

This page reproduces the health claims recorded in the Great Britain Nutrition and Health Claims Register as assessed and not authorised, for register headings beginning Q to Z, with the register's reason in each case. Compiled from the Department of Health and Social Care's published register, it covers England, Scotland and Wales. A refused wording may not be used on a food, drink or food supplement sold in Great Britain, and nor may a wording likely to mean the same to the consumer. That is a judgement on a wording against a legal test, not a finding about the substance, and it is a different status from "on hold", which means never assessed. The authorised claims, with their conditions of use, are on the main pages: vitamins, minerals and other substances and foods.

This is Wellgard's reproduction and explanation of official data. It is not a government website, a product approval, or a substitute for assessing the applicable law and conditions of use. The GOV.UK register is the authoritative source.

How to read the table

  • Heading: the register's own name for the nutrient, substance, food or food category, in alphabetical order; each heading has a fixed link (anchors begin #na-) and each row its own link, built from the heading and the register entry number.
  • Claim wording: the wording as submitted, verbatim.
  • Reason for non-authorisation: verbatim from the register.
  • Health relationship and Scientific opinion: the register's description of the relationship assessed, and the EFSA Journal reference or the UK Nutrition and Health Claims Committee opinion.
  • Status: as the register records it, with the article of the regulation and the entry number.

This page lists 398 of the register's 2,082 non-authorised claims, for 181 headings beginning Q to Z; the other letters are on the sibling pages linked above. 145 entries across the six pages whose heading or wording names a commercial product, or carries a trade mark symbol or a branded strain code, are left to the register spreadsheet on gov.uk.

Zeaxanthin

Non-authorised health claims for Zeaxanthin, GB register version 19 May 2026
Claim wording Reason for non-authorisation Health relationship Scientific opinion Status
An optimal intake of zeaxanthin contributes to eye health
supports normal vision
absorbs blue light and scavenges reactive oxygen species in the eye (lens, retina) and, therefore, helps to maintain a healthy retina
stabilizes membranes and, therefore, contributes to make retinal membranes more resistant against damage by light
(together with Lutein) is actively accumulated in the healthy macula.
The highest concentration of carotenoids found in the human body. A sufficient supply therefore contributes to maintaining the integrity and health of this part of the retina which is most essential for optimal visual performance.
Das Carotinoid Zeaxanthin kommt in hoher Konzentration im menschlichen Auge vor. Dort schützt es dieses vor oxidativen Schädigungen durch Radikale.
Zeaxanthin ist ein Beitrag zum Schutz der Augengesundheit.
Zeaxanthin ist ein Radikalfänger.
wird (zusammen mit Lutein) aktiv in der gesunden Makula angereichert, die die höchste Konzentration an Carotinoiden im menschlichen Körper aufweist. Eine ausreichende Versorgung hilft, diesen Teil der Retina, der für ein optimales Sehvermögen sehr wichtig
Zeaxanthin ist ein wichtiges antioxidativ zellschützender vitaminähnlicher Lebensmittelinhaltsstoff für den Menschen mit besonderer Bedeutung für den Lichtschutz.
Als vergleichsweise schwaches Antioxidans kann Zeaxanthin durch die stärkeren antioxidativen Nährstoffe bzw. körpereigenen Antioxidantien – z. B. die Thiole Glutathion, Cystein und Liponsäure - teilweise gegen Oxidation geschützt werden.
Umgekehrt gibt es Hinweise, dass eine hohe Zufuhr von Carotinoiden wie Zeaxanthin auch einen positiven Einfluss auf den Status bei den anderen körpereigenen Antioxidantien hat.
Hohe Mengen an Zeaxanthin sollten aus theoretischen Erwägungen wegen der erforderlichen Regeneration durch die körpereigenen antioxidativen Schutzsysteme zusammen mit anderen antioxidativen Nährstoffen supplementiert werden. Das gilt insbesondere für Personen mit erfahrungsgemäß schlechtem antioxidativem Status (z. B. Raucher, Diabetiker).
Zeaxanthin ist ein effizienter Fänger von freien Radikalen.
Nach der antioxidativen Rangordnung der Carotinoide wird Zeaxanthin im Auge erst nach Vitamin E, ß-Carorin, Lycopin und Lutein verbraucht.–Zeaxanthin ist für das Auge wahrscheinlich die letzte Sicherung gegen oxidative Schäden.
Die natürlich besonders hohe Konzentration von Zeaxanthin in der Netzhautmitte (dem Ort des schärfsten Sehens) spricht für eine besonders wichtige Schutzfunktion beim Schutz der Sehfähigkeit.
(zusammen mit Lutein) hilft es, das Sehvermögen bei trüben Lichtverhältnissen zu verbessern

Glossary

Source of
For a vitamin or mineral, a significant amount: 15% of the nutrient reference value per 100 g or 100 ml, 7.5% per 100 ml for a drink, or 15% in the daily dose of a supplement (Regulation 1169/2011, Annex XIII; Regulation 1924/2006, Annex). For fibre, 3 g per 100 g or 1.5 g per 100 kcal. For protein, at least 12% of the food's energy.
"The claim may be used only for food which"
The opening words of most conditions of use: the test is applied to the food as sold, not to an ingredient on its own, and a food that does not meet it cannot carry the claim (Regulation (EU) No 432/2012).
On hold
Botanical claims submitted under Article 13 in 2008 that the European Commission paused in 2010 and that Great Britain inherited unassessed. Neither authorised nor rejected; their continued use is a transitional arrangement under the responsibility of the business, subject to the general requirements of the regulation (GOV.UK on-hold list).
Not listed here
A wording that appears on none of these pages has not been assessed in either direction. It is a search result, not a judgement on the substance.

Frequently asked questions

What does "non-authorised" mean?

The wording was submitted, assessed and refused: most often because a cause and effect relationship was not established on the evidence assessed, or because the claimed effect was not a beneficial physiological effect, or the food was not sufficiently characterised. The register gives the reason against each entry.

Can a non-authorised wording be used if it is reworded?

No. A refused wording may not be used, and nor may a wording likely to have the same meaning for the consumer. Flexibility of wording applies to authorised claims only.

Does a refusal mean the substance has no benefit?

No. A refusal is a judgement on a specific wording against a legal test at the time of assessment. It is not a finding that the substance does nothing, and it is a different status from "on hold", which means never assessed.
