As in protein powders/supplements or generally anything with protein
Food supplements that may benefit from the Zero rate must fall within the ordinary and everyday meaning of “food” and not be equivalent to any of the items specified in the Table. The supplement must encourage the maintenance of health, through the sustenance derived from a normal, healthy diet, to meet the social reasons criteria that apply to goods benefiting from the Zero rate. The key consideration is whether the food supplement is one that forms part of a person's normal diet for the purposes of sustenance as opposed to enhancing a person's diet with a view to achieving a particular aim. The former can benefit from the Zero rate. The latter, which includes a food supplement taken for the purposes of muscle growth or body mass increase, or for the purposes of weight reduction or bodily sculpture, cannot benefit from the Zero rate.
The following substances do not benefit from the Zero rate, even if labelled and marketed as food supplements:
Substances marketed specifically to improve sporting or physical performance, e.g. ergogenic aids;
Substances marketed specifically for the purpose of bodily sculpture or weight reduction, e.g. slimming aids;
Substances that, although consisting in whole or in part of ingredients regarded as food supplements, are marketed for use other than for human consumption, such as, liniments, ointments and rubs.
Substances in the form of bars or sweets or any other form similar to confectionery coming within the scope of column 1 of Part F of the Table;
Beverages of any kind (including water), concentrates, crystals, essences, extracts, powders or other products for the preparation of beverages, unless they come within the scope of column 2(c) or (d) of Part E of the Table.
