Restoridyn®, a synergistic sports nutrition blend of proprietary polyphenols, has been selected as a finalist for the NutraIngredients-USA Awards in the “Nutrition Research Project” category. The category rewards the most innovative and impactful nutrition research projects, pushing the boundaries of nutritional science.

The main aim of research done on Restoridyn® was to bring awareness to the use of a proprietary blend of polyphenols (as curcuminoids and ellagitannins) to aid in the efficacy of a comprehensive exercise training program for all ages and levels of athletic ability, and in order to promote well-being.

Running is a popular activity/habit for exercise training because it requires very little cost-investment compared to other sports. Unfortunately it can create soreness and inflammation, therefore making subsequent exercise more complicated.

Providing the right nutrition for cognitive development and function is critical from foetal growth and all the way through life. Did you know that iodine is an essential nutrient supporting cognitive health?

Research shows that access to iodine in the diet was key to the evolution of the modern human brain as humans started to consume sources of iodine from seaweed and seafood 2.5million years ago, previously having very limited iodine intake.

This need for iodine in cognitive function remains essential today. However, 50% of Europeans have issues of iodine deficiency, and the UK has levels of up 70% deficiency in some age groups.

Seaweeds offer the only natural, vegan source of iodine. PureSea® seaweed ingredients are standardised to iodine, which allows health claims relating to iodine support to normal thyroid function and cognitive health.

Global focus on immunity has never been stronger as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc across the globe.

Last April, NutritionInsight took a closer look at how zinc has emerged as a so-called hot ingredient on the market, thanks to its contribution to both the innate and adaptive immune systems, which are the body’s first and second lines of defence, respectively (full article here).

During the interview, we mentioned that although there was no proof that zinc could address the fight of COVID-19, most of our customers were likely to include zinc in their formulations because of the approved EFSA claim related to the maintenance of the normal function of the immune system.

“Optimal Nutritional Status for a Well-Functioning Immune System Is an Important Factor to Protect against Viral Infections” is the title of the review published last April in the Journal Nutrients. The review highlights a wealth of clinical data, which demonstrates that vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, folate, zinc, iron, selenium, magnesium, copper and the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA play important and complementary roles in supporting the immune system. It also mentions that, inadequate intake and status of these nutrients are widespread, leading to a decrease in resistance to infections and as a consequence an increase in disease burden.

In particular, the review highlights three main points:

Our partner Golden Omega is the only producer of omega-3 concentrates strategically located in the middle of the richest fishing ground for anchovy in the world (South Pacific Ocean).

Anchovies from the South Pacific Ocean naturally contain a high level of EPA and DHA in their fat (normally around 25-30%), and live a very short life (around 15 to 18 months) compared to other fish species. Thus, they accumulate less contaminants or heavy metals naturally present in the waters.

Another key value proposition for our partner Golden Omega is the development and implementation of effective technology and innovation in the world of the omega-3 fatty acids.

Gut health is an important contributor to general health, with well-established links to immunity and brain health. Products are formulated to directly address specific aspects of gut health, and other aspects of general health via action on the gut. This has resulted in the gut health market becoming increasingly sophisticated and diverse. Although probiotics and pre-biotics dominate public consciousness in the gut health market, several other nutrients could also provide benefits. Furthermore, many of these compounds support gut health via different mechanisms of action to pre and probiotics, providing another dimension for the formulation of gut health products¹.
