ARTINIA is an innovative, gluten-free fiber ingredient that supports healthy arteries. This EU Commission approved novel food ingredient, and self-affirmed GRAS ingredient, has been shown to support cardiovascular health by protecting LDL-cholesterol from oxidation. Multiple studies have been completed to show ARTINIA is a safe, effective ingredient for supporting the body’s natural antioxidant system and defenses against oxidized LDL. Due to its high purity, ARTINIA shows superior organoleptic properties over common fibers and provides formulators with a high flexibility in the development of various food matrices.
