NuAxon Bioscience will highlight new science for BacoZen, its branded ingredient for sleep, stress and mood support, at SupplySide Global later this month.
BacoZen is a blend of bacopa and ashwagandha extracts that has been clinically studied to reduce stress, improve sleep and balance mood at a low dose of 250 mg twice a day.
These outcomes, which are the results of a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, were recently published in the International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science.
“Many botanical suppliers claim to offer science-backed, full-spectrum extracts but are unwilling to share their methods of standardisation or manufacturing processes or offer third-party verification,” said Uday Gosalia, President of UGo Beyond, a company that connects US and Indian ingredient suppliers and works with NuAxon’s parent company, Nisarga Biotech Pvt.
"At NuAxon, transparency and ethics are core values that drive its relationships with customers and end consumers."
"NuAxon’s botanical ingredients are ideal for brands looking for good, clean science."
NuAxon is also leading innovation in botanicals, a category that has taken a back seat to enzymes, peptides, vitamins and minerals in recent years.
The company is currently researching to determine if its highly bioavailable botanical extracts can support the body’s absorption of less bioavailable nutraceuticals if combined in single applications.
"Most of today’s botanical extracts are concentrated to such high purity that the body doesn’t recognise them as essential or beneficial compounds."
"Even if they do, the high concentrations of isolated actives have some unforeseen side effects that could be avoided with full-spectrum technology,” said Devendra Soman, marketing director for Nisarga and NuAxon.
"In fact, most of what’s in a multivitamin is excreted from the body."
"Our research could reignite the botanicals industry and lead to more efficacious supplements and functional foods and beverages for consumers.”
NuAxon will offer SupplySide Global attendees two samples featuring its botanical extracts in its booth (641 on Shoreline level two).
These include effervescent tablets for relaxation and calm that contain 500 mg of BacoZen and a hangover prevention supplement, Party Fit, featuring BioTurm, a curcumin supplement clinically shown to be 64 times more bioavailable than a traditional curcumin-piperine blend.
Located on the new second level of the expanding trade show, the booth will have extended hours of 9 am to 6 pm.
NuAxon will also be available at Ingredients Online’s IO Summit at the INDUSTRIAL Event Space from 2 pm to 7 pm on October 28.
