Products / Markets
FloraGLO® Lutein is a naturally-sourced, free lutein with an established reputation for quality, safety and efficacy, and the first lutein brand introduced into the global marketplace. FloraGLO® revolutionized the supplemental lutein market and provided the foundation for the development and advancement of lutein for human health in the areas of vision, beauty and more recently cognition, maternal and infant nutrition.
Neumentix® is a naturally-sourced spearmint extract clinically shown to support focus during the day without disrupting sleep at night. The antioxidant polyphenols in Neumentix promote new brain cell growth and support a function of the brain called working memory; thus improving the ability to learn, manage information and react. Neumentix provides both cognitive and physical performance benefits and can be formulated into a variety of applications.
BetaVia Complete™, a nutritionally-rich ingredient sourced from an exclusive algae Euglena gracilis, is obtained through an optimized and sustainable patented process, providing a unique composition of >50% beta 1,3 glucans, proteins (>15%), vitamins, minerals, carotenoids and fatty acids. BetaVia Complete is characterized by a triple-action effect which includes priming key immune cells, fueling the growth of “good bacteria” and supporting a healthy GI tract and has been clinically shown to support the immune system.
DailyZz™ is a natural proprietary botanical blend of water-extracts of spearmint and green tea rich in polyphenols that promotes natural sleep for a better day. Clinical research shows that DailyZz can significantly improve both sleep quality and next day functioning in healthy adults.
Slendesta® is a safe supplement ingredient that boosts satiety to help you feel full without any unpleasant side effects. The satiety ingredient has been clinically shown to help individuals eat less and feel satisfied sooner and longer. The ingredient’s satiety benefits make it easier to control portion size and snacking, and in turn, achieve weight management goals.
