Euromed, a global supplier of botanical extracts, will be showcasing its latest innovations at Vitafoods Europe 2024. Building on its commitment to promoting a healthy body and mind, the company will highlight a diverse range of natural herbal extracts inspired by the Mediterranean diet.
The focus will be on its new cucumber extract CuberUp, a potentially promising natural approach to the maintenance of healthy joints.
Euromed's range of Mediterranean fruit and vegetable extracts, including lemon, pomegranate, olive, artichoke, fig and spinach, can be used to support cardiovascular, metabolic, digestive, immune and skeletal muscle functions. Marketed under the brand names Wellemon, Pomanox, Mediteanox, Cynamed, ABAlife and Spisar, they are processed with an eco-friendly, proprietary extraction technology that uses purified water as the solvent.
A major highlight of this year's presentation is CuberUp. Backed by a recent double-blind clinical study[1], the cucumber extract has a positive impact on knee pain, mobility and muscle function in people over 40 years with knee function limitations.
Joint health support is crucial not only for healthy ageing, but for those involved in sports. CuberUp therefore offers a promising approach for all those struggling with joint problems or looking to prevent them.
Andrea Zangara, Head of Scientific Communication and Medical Affairs at Euromed explains: “We combine tradition and science, which is further supported by advanced technological applications in our research strategy. For example, we are exploring new predictive methods, including bioinformatics, to forecast the efficacy and safety of new extracts for evaluation in subsequent clinical trials. We aim to generate new scientific knowledge through more efficient methodologies, thereby improving the quality of our science.”
