Fast Dissolving Supplements
Nutrition Formulators has developed a line of fast dissolving tablets for dietary supplements. This delivery method will provide consumers with better mouthfeel and a higher level of nutrient absorption, while reducing the fear of choking. The technology allows tablet dissolution in as quickly as five seconds (depending on tablet size) and it is the best mechanism to ensure compliance and increase sales in today’s demanding markets, according to the company.

Clear-E
Watson Inc. has unveiled Clear-E, a fine, free-flowing form of vitamin E spray dried within a modified starch matrix. When mixed into a solution, Clear-E forms a micellar dispersion, producing a clear solution. It is intended for beverage applications where optically clear products are desired. It is non-foaming, non-clouding and will not ring.

Bonistein Literature
DSM Nutritional Products recently in-troduced a new brochure that provides valuable information on the role of Bonistein pure genistein can play in maintaining bone health. The literature clearly explains the scientific background behind bone formation and the importance of Bonistein beyond calcium and vitamin D to prevent bone loss. Human bones need a key soy isoflavone called genistein to maintain bone building, a lifelong dynamic that is threatened when women reach menopause.

Allergen-Free Lycopene
BASF has launched a vegetarian-grade and allergen-free lycopene, which is protein-free, GMO-free, and Kosher and Halal certified. BASF’s Lycovit lycopene products are a key element of the company’s clinically proven and patent-protected mixed carotenoid concept. BASF-sponsored research has demonstrated that a combination of carotenoids in dietary supplement form can effectively protect DNA from oxidative stress damage.

Maxinvert
Centerchem, Inc. has become DSM’s (Delft, The Netherlands) exclusive North American distributor for Maxinvert (invertase), which hydrolyzes sucrose into glucose and fructose, thereby eliminating the need to add invert sugar or other humectants to food product formulations. It can enhance sweetness, improve color and flavor, modify texture and provide moisture retention and viscosity reduction if necessary. Maxinvert can be used in confectionery, baked goods and frozen desserts, and to replace chemical hydrolyses in the production of invert sugar starting from beet or cane sugar.

Heart Health Product
Bioriginal has launched BioFlaxElite with beta-glucan, which combines the synergistic benefits of organic flaxseed with oat beta-glucan to improve heart health by lowering LDL cholesterol. Oat beta-glucan has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering total LDL cholesterol. It is approved for a cholesterol-lowering health claim in the U.K., Sweden and the U.S. Flax is the richest plant source of the omega 3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Extensive research has shown that ALA is extremely beneficial for the heart. Not only is flaxseed a valuable source of ALA, but it also contains high quantities of fiber, which has been reported to help lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels.

Proanthocyanidin Standardized Cranberry Powder
Decas Botanical Synergies (DBS), a division of Decas Cranberry Products, Inc., has introduced PACran whole cranberry powder standardized to cranberry pro-anthocyanidins (PACs) using a proprietary manufacturing process and an “early black” cranberry cultivar. PACran is the first and only PAC-standardized product on the market. Cranberries are widely known for their unique “anti-adhesion” activity that protects the body from harmful bacteria that cause urinary tract infections. This anti-adhesion activity is primarily due to a natural compound in the fruit called PACs. PACran supplies no less than 1.5% of cranberry PACs measured via the only published and USDA-recognized HPLC analytical method.

Fair Trade Green Tea Extracts
In order to improve the position of disadvantaged producers in China and supply products with more safety and higher quality to customers, Fenchem has begun purchasing Fair Trade green tea material from a certified producer for export to the U.S. and Europe. The Fair Trade Certified label guarantees fair price for farmers and workers, quality products, environmental benefits and community impact. Green tea is the only Fair Trade labeled product in China.

Young Tissue Extract
Amerikal Nutraceutical Corp. has introduced Young Tissue Extract (YTE), a patented ingredient derived from pre-embryonic fertilized chicken eggs at a critical point during incubation. Based on the foundation that an egg contains all necessary elements to create and sustain life, Dr. Eskeland of Norway developed the patented extraction method of YTE that allows highly specific amino acids and glycopeptides to be isolated. These isolated nutrients help the body maintain healthy levels of testosterone, while lowering the levels of the stress hormone cortisol. YTE is supported with eight clinical studies conducted in the U.S., Sweden and Norway, and is suitable for applications involving sexual health, sports nutrition, and stamina and energy, making it an ideal ingredient for the Baby Boomer generation.
