The definition of sustainability, itself, implies the responsibility to be a good steward of the earth. Through traditional cultivation and harvesting techniques, our partners Verdure Sciences actively promote biodiversity and sustainable wild-crafting of important medicinal plants and herbs. Additionally, they have made significant efforts to promote sustainable agriculture for some of the key branded ingredients such as Longvida^®, WokVel^® and Pomella^®, which LEHVOSS Nutrition proudly represents.

In conjunction with these efforts, a number of eco-friendly initiatives are in place. For example, one manufacturing facility has increased the use of solar and thermal energy to maximise efficiency. The plant based byproduct, wchich remains after processing, is also utilized to heat the facility and also donated to the local farmers to be used as a fertilizer.

Multiple published human and in vitro studies show that EpiCor^® has several modes of action that affect many aspects of immune system health.

One of the key value propositions for our partner Golden Omega is the development and implementation of effective technology and innovation in the world of the Omega-3 fatty acids. In order to deliver this strategic vision, Golden Omega has a team of scientists and engineers in place, who are dedicated to the research and development at both the state-of-the-art laboratories and pilot plant.

Golden Omega’s production technologies utilise 100% renewable energy and represent the new generation of purification and concentration of Omega-3 processes, materialized in three international patents: US8258330 (Purification), US8586772 (Deodorization - soon to be fully implemented) and US8957231 (Concentration). As a result, Golden Omega fish oil concentrates benefit from very low peroxide and anisidine values (Totox typically 3-5), contaminants below detection limits and Gardner color 2 or below.

Garcinia Cambogia (GC) is a small, pumpkin-shaped tropical fruit that grows in Southeast Asia and India. The key active ingredient found in the rind of Garcinia Cambogia is hydroxycitric acid (HCA). Many years of research suggests that this ingredient may help with weight management and despite the fact that it has been used for several years in food supplements, we can still see companies including this ingredient in new product developments. Garcinia is a well-positioned ingredient and to our knowledge will continue in the market for a while.

Thanks to our supplier network we have recently approved a range of Garcinia Cambogia options, manufactured by a key producer in India.

In Nature, vitamins and minerals don’t exist in isolation. They exist as foods. Fruits, vegetables, and botanicals deliver their nutrients in complex “packages” that are then metabolised by our body. Vitamins and minerals found in foods come with their own enzymes, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, phytonutrients, and other natural co-factors that can help the body to absorb and use them effectively.

Our new natural and organic certified vitamins and minerals are not single chemical entities. We offer vitamins and minerals as “whole-food complexes”, with all their nutrient co-factors: just as they exist in Nature. They are ingredients with minimal processing carried out, therefore preserving their original vitamin and mineral profiles: the way the body likes them.

According to market data, the joint health market is expected to increase to more than US 14 billion by 2024¹.

Currently, nearly all the World’s glucosamine is produced from shellfish. The process of manufacturing glucosamine from shellfish, however, relies considerably on chemicals and energy, while also creating excessive amounts of toxic wastewater, harmful to people, animals and the environment. Producing 1 MT of traditional shellfish glucosamine requires 30 to 40 MTs of shellfish shells and creates 5 to 6 MTs of solid waste. Furthermore, the manufacturing process can create up to 460 MT of wastewater with an unhealthy pH of 5.5 in most cases.²

According to Innova, protein is expected to maintain its position as a key ingredient in the industry. As consumers become increasingly aware of what benefits their health and wellness, protein’s wide range of uses may provide ample space for innovative and exciting product developments.

The number of food and beverages launches featuring pea protein has trebled in the last five years (Global, 2014-2018) with 60% growth in dairy alternative launches with plant proteins (Global, 2018 vs 2017). Consumer demand for protein-enriched products now extends beyond sports nutrition, to include senior nutrition, weight management and overall health and wellness. It is certainly no longer the domain of the infant nutrition category or “body building” space.
