Risk assessment of "other substances" – L-proline. Opinion of the Panel on Nutrition, Dietetic Products, Novel Food and Allergy of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety.

Abstract

At the request of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (VKM) has characterised the risk of specified doses of L-proline in food supplements. VKM concludes that: • In adults (≥18 years), the specified doses 50, 500, 1000, 1500 and 1800 mg/day Lproline in food supplements are unlikely to cause adverse health effects. • In adolescents (14 to < 18 years), the specified doses 50, 500, 1000, 1500 and 1800 mg/day L-proline in food supplements are unlikely to cause adverse health effects. • In children (10 to < 14 years), the specified doses 50, 500, 1000, 1500 and 1800 mg/day L-proline in food supplements are unlikely to cause adverse health effects.
