Fruit d’Or has formed an exclusive partnership with Bright Pharma Caps, Inc. to launch wholly organic cranberry capsules, containing 500 mg Cran Naturelle, organic cranberry. The formula is equivalent to 36 mg PACs, the highest potency cranberry powder on the market, according to Fruit d’Or.
 
Patrik Barr, director of sales for Bright Pharma Caps, said that the company’s NOP-certified Bright-Poly Organic capsules are the first and only certified organic capsules available on the market. “Bright-Poly Organic capsules have a brilliant appearance, making the finished products using Bright-Poly Organic capsules visually and functionally attractive.”
 
Bright-Poly Organic capsules are produced in an environmentally friendly and health conscious manner. The NOP certified organic pullulan is water extracted from fungi grown on starch substrate, and the process uses no toxic chemicals. Mr. Barr explained, “Pullulan capsules are the best choice for oxygen-sensitive materials such as enzymes, live bacteria and antioxidants like cranberry PACs. Pullulan film is 300 times stronger than HPMC film and nine times stronger than gelatin film of the same thickness. Pullulan is chemically inert, and does not react or cross-link. These capsules are non-brittle, glossy and run superior on high-speed encapsulation machines.”
 
The encapsulation will be done by certified organic manufacturers PNP Pharmaceuticals in Canada, and potentially, Nutritional Labs in the U.S. for North American marketer availability.
