Nektium will launch Vanizem, a new botanical extract for stress and mood support, at Vitafoods Europe.
According to research from Innova Market Insights, mental and emotional well-being has become one of consumers’ top three priorities for healthy living. Nektium will demonstrate how its patent-pending ingredient, sourced from the Aframomum melegueta plant, can help manufacturers tap into this demand.
A small daily dose of the sustainably sourced botanical extract has been evidenced to reduce feelings of anxiety and alleviate mood within days, according to the company, through a mechanism of action that modulates receptors and enzymes in the endocannabinoid system. Nektium’s proprietary technology can maintain the stability of the main bioactive compound, total vanilloid, throughout the extraction and encapsulation processes.
The Spain-based company will offer visitors the chance to sample Vanizem in capsule format. It will present more information on the extract as part of a talk called “New natural alternative for stress relief and mood-boosting,” in the New Ingredients Theater (F184) at 1:30 p.m. on May 15.
Nektium will also be demonstrating how its existing botanical portfolio can be used across supplments, foods, and beverages. The branded ingredients will include the stress-supporting Rhodiolife Rhodiola rosea extract, and the focus- and energy-supporting ingredient, Zynamite Mangifera indica extract. Visitors will be able to sample gummies and sticks created with Zynamite S, a new water-soluble grade of the nootropic ingredient, as well as Rhodiolife gummies.
“We’re delighted to present our new Vanizem ingredient at Vitafoods 2024 and showcase its ability to help consumers manage stress and mood,” said Bruno Berheide, commercial and partnership director. “It’s a hugely exciting addition to our broad portfolio of botanical extracts, which provide natural, sustainable, and evidence-based solutiosn to address a wide range of consumer needs.”
