12/13/2010 --- Enzymotec has announced that its patent application "Glycerophospholipids containing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid " (Pat. No. 2004282006) is now officially granted in Australia.

The patent covers methods for improving cognitive and behavioral parameters by administration of phosphatidylserine (PS) containing the omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).

SharpPSGOLD has a unique composition, which mimics brain PS. Recent clinical studies have demonstrated its capacity to significantly increase DHA level in the brain and subsequently improve cognitive performance due to the combined action of PS and DHA. Recently the Sharp-PS -brand line was extended by the addition of Krill-PS into Enzymotec's product portfolio."The Australian market is an important market that holds a big potential for Enzymotec's products due to its dynamic nature and proximity to South East Asia" says Mr. Gil Kirtovsky the Business Unit Manager.

"As part of our strategy, we continue to invest efforts in order to strengthen our IP position all over the world" says Director of R&D. "There are numerous pending patents covering process, efficacy, health benefits and composition of our products around the world," concludes Gil.
