    Water-Soluble Tomato Concentrate (WSTC) I and II

    Water-Soluble Tomato Concentrate (WSTC) I and II helps maintain normal platelet aggregation, which contributes to healthy blood flow

    ►M1  Information to the consumer that the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily consumption of 3 g WSTC I or 150 mg WSTC II in up to 250 ml of either fruit juices, flavoured drinks or yogurt drinks (unless heavily pasteurised) or with a daily consumption of 3 g WSTC I or 150 mg WSTC II in food supplements when taken with a glass of water or other liquid ◄
