Evonik, a global partner to nutraceutical companies for advanced food ingredients and formulation development services, has received clearance to market its innovative high-concentration Omega-3 lysine powder complex AvailOm for use in the European Union (EU).
AvailOm is the highest-load Omega-3 powder in its class with a minimum of 45% EPA and DHA by weight. A single, small tablet made from AvailOm can deliver the same Omega-3 fatty acid uptake as two large fish oil softgel capsules.
In addition to delivering unmatched protection against oxidation based upon 3 years of stability data, it is also direct compressible and can be customised to meet specific formulation requirements.
Cornelis van den Muyzenberg, VP of Food Ingredients and Strategic Projects at Evonik Health Care, said: “The superior potency, bioavailability and stability of AvailOm creates a significant opportunity for nutraceutical companies to develop single and multi-ingredient consumer-friendly supplements. We look forward to supporting customers develop new formulations that are enabled by this innovative nutraceutical ingredient."
