Nutrient Amounts and Health Claims

The nutrient amounts provided by the daily portion are given below. The amounts are given on the basis of the elemental mineral contained in the citrate salts in the composition.

A health claim for a nutrient may be used where the daily portion provides at least 15% of the nutrient reference value for that nutrient. In the daily portion of Gucit, magnesium meets this condition; as the potassium amount remains below the threshold, no claim has been written for potassium. The subject of a claim is not the product but the nutrient contained in Gucit.

• Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance.
• Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function.

The contribution stated in the claims applies where the daily portion of 1 sachet is consumed. There is no health claim permitted in Türkiye for citrus pectin, guava extract, inulin or the citrate part of the citrate salts; these ingredients appear on the page with their names and amounts. A varied and balanced diet together with a healthy lifestyle is essential.
