Ocitum™ delivers standardised, sustainably sourced adaptogenic support backed by clinical data for European nutraceutical brands

Across Europe, stress and sleep concerns are steadily rising. Nearly 30 percent of adults report persistent stress symptoms, and over one third of them experience disrupted sleep. At the same time, botanical supplements are among the fastest growing segments in the European nutraceutical market. Consumers are choosing plant-based solutions, but they expect more than tradition. They expect proof.

Ocitum™ is our clinically validated extract of Holy Basil, developed to support stress resilience and restorative sleep. In an 8-week study with 60 subjects at 300 mg per day, Ocitum™ demonstrated reduced serum cortisol levels, improved DASS 21 scores for stress and mood, and enhanced sleep quality.

For European brands, this means a standardised, sustainably sourced botanical backed by clinical data and ready for versatile formulation.
