Supplyside West

Booth 4655
 
PLT Health Solutions has plenty of new developments to highlight at SupplySide West, including a suite of new clinical studies covering a range of product development opportunities.
 
Since last year’s show, four new clinical studies have been completed.
 
AprèsFlex Five-Day Joint Support
 
A new study found that six months of supplementation with the Boswellia extract AprésFlex  was linked to long-term joint health benefits such as joint space improvement and cartilage preservation and protection.
 
Nutricog Cognitive Performance Complex
 
A recent study demonstrated that supplementation with this ingredient was linked to significant improvements in multiple aspects of cognitive performance including faster learning, improved attention, better memory, and reduced distractibility.  
 
Slendacor Weight Management Complex
 
A new clinical study demonstrated that this ingredient could increase resting metabolic rate, among other thermogenic effects. It also improved calorie burning and markers of other metabolic health benefits.
 
AlvioLife
 
In 2022, PLT completed a second double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study on AlvioLife and respiratory health. Subjects taking AlvioLife experienced statistically significant improvements from baseline compared to the placebo in measures of lung function, lung capacity, and aerobic exercise capacity.
 
"PLT Health Solutions has long been committed to world-class clinical science to validate the safety and efficacy of health-enhancing natural products. It is part of our company's DNA. For decades, we have been designing, evaluating and communicating clinical science in support of the ingredient solutions we develop for the marketplace," said Steve Fink, vice president of marketing. "Our support for meaningful, properly conducted clinical studies is broader and stronger today than it has ever been in the 70-year history of our company. We encourage an industry-wide movement toward strengthening the science behind the natural ingredients that are marketed and applaud the members of our industry who are making the substantial investments required to make this a reality.”
 
PLT has generally been focused no clinical studies investigating emerging consumer health needs. Today, the company has multi-ingredient portfolios in areas such as cognitive health/performance, joint health and mobility, sports and active nutrition, weight management, and cardiovascular health.
 
Fink said that PLT’s goal is to curate market-focused science and formulation-friendly ingredinets that help consumer product companies enhance their on-pack positioning language, drive trust with consumers, and offer a more experiential journey toward better health.
 
“Understanding the market’s needs and pain points and developing the science, sustainability, and quality practices we’ll need to attract and develop trust with consumers is what we do at PLT,” Fink said. “SupplySide West is a great opportunity for PLT to engage the industry and we look forward to meeting as many people as we can at the show.”
