PLT Health Solutions has announced the addition of cellflo6, a patented green tea (Camelia sinensis) extract formulated to provide energy, sport performance, and overall health benefits, to its portfolio.
 
Cellflo6 is currently featured in a number of pre-workout, energy, recovery, and men’s health formulations, including recovery formulas used by U.S. military tier 1 operators and a 7-Eleven-branded energy beverage called 7-Select Fusion Energy. The new zero-sugar Fusion Energy Drink is part of the retailer’s portfolio of in-house brands, and is now available at over 30,000 retail outlets including 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes in North America.
 
Cellflo6 offers a unique opportunity for sports, recovery, and wellness product formulators to develop experiential products, said Brett Bernier, director of sports and active nutrition at PLT Health Solutions. “Today’s consumers are looking for a more impactful experience and performance benefits from a wide range of delivery systems. The industry is starting to recognize the unique benefits of cellflo6 and what it can bring to a product formulation. It is known to help support improved endurance, faster recovery, enhanced blood flow, and energy. We’re very excited to be working with Cardio6 Management to further develop and commercialize this unique technology.”
 
Cellflo6 is a novel, patented, clinically-studied, gallate-enhanced oligomer extract sourced from green tea that contains standardized levels of galloylated procyanidins. The ingredient is the subject of a patent on galloylated procyanidins for treating endovascular dysfunction and increasing blood flow (US Patent No.: US 11,766,422 B2).  It is also evidenced to support cellular health by fighting free radical damage and reducing oxidative stress. Cellflo6 may provide the same benefits classically associated with green tea catechins, including exercise recovery, muscle recovery, metabolic health, and weight management benefits.
 
“Cellflo6 is a new and exciting ingredient, that people respond to because it is highly experiential. It is easy to formulate since it is water-soluble, presents no taste issues and has a low inclusion rate. We are just beginning to understand its market potential and we are excited to be working with PLT Health Solutions to significantly expand the reach of cellflo6 around the world,” said Matt Nickerson, co-inventor of cellflo6.
