The product does not exhibit clearly defined prophylactic or therapeutic properties. Consequently, it cannot be classified under heading 3004 as a medicament. As the product is a food preparation presented in the form of measured doses and intended for use as a food supplement, the requirements of Additional Note 5 to Chapter 21 are fulfilled. The product is a preparation of enzymes with added substances and a presentation that renders it suitable for a specific purpose, namely as a food supplement for human consumption (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 3507, point (C), first paragraph). Consequently, as the product is covered by Additional Note 5 to Chapter 21, classification under heading 3507 as a prepared enzyme is excluded. The product is therefore to be classified under heading 2106 as a food preparation not elsewhere specified or included.

The product does not exhibit clearly defined prophylactic or therapeutic properties. Consequently, it cannot be classified under heading 3004 as a medicament.

As the product is a food preparation presented in the form of measured doses and intended for use as a food supplement, the requirements of Additional Note 5 to Chapter 21 are fulfilled.

The product is a preparation of enzymes with added substances and a presentation that renders it suitable for a specific purpose, namely as a food supplement for human consumption (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 3507, point (C), first paragraph). Consequently, as the product is covered by Additional Note 5 to Chapter 21, classification under heading 3507 as a prepared enzyme is excluded.
