Golden Omega®’s 2024 Sustainability Report highlights the company’s continued commitment to responsible practices and positive social impact.
Initiatives included improving employee well-being through enhanced safety, health, and development programs, as well as promoting work-life balance. This year saw the launch of a community engagement strategy based on a diagnostic study from 2023.
Since 2021, Golden Omega® has reduced waste disposal by 33% and potable water use by 47%, thanks in part to a new desalination plant in water-scarce Arica. The company also measured its corporate carbon footprint for the first time, earning recognition from Chile’s Ministry of the Environment through the Huella Chile program. Watch a short video here.

Clinical studies demonstrate OptiMSM®'s potential on skin health, in particular OptiMSM® may reduce fine lines and wrinkles1, and improve skin texture and firmness2, with effective results seen with 1 gram dose.
It is well known that sulphur supports the skin by providing critical building blocks that the skin relies on, and also by supporting important antioxidant systems in the body to help defend against oxidative stress3.
Through their distinct mechanisms, collagen1 and sulphur4 aid in the production of collagen and other critical architectural components of the skin.
Therefore, why not bolster your collagen formula with OptiMSM®?

As we celebrate 10 years of business history for Gold-Standard PureSea®, it's a great time to reflect on the importance of iodine for humans and animals, and the benefits of this sustainable ingredient.
Over 5 billion people — around 68% of the global population — are estimated to be iodine-deficient1, which can lead to thyroid-related issues. Symptoms may include fatigue, low mood, weight gain, dry skin, muscle discomfort, and brittle hair or nails2. Iodine is known to be essential for thyroid function.
PureSea® provides natural iodine to support six EFSA-approved health claims. Independent research show it offers a slower, more sustained iodine release compared to synthetic forms3. Sourced from the pristine Scottish Outer Hebrides, PureSea® is processed using a proprietary method.

Exciting new research has been published (April 2025) demonstrating how Witholytin®, our branded, natural ashwagandha, significantly influences mitochondria in cortical neurons whilst also potentially bolstering stress adaptation and neuroprotection.
Data suggests these effects are driven by interactions with Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) which are essential for neuron support and growth, and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) signalling which is crucial for neuronal development and metabolic balance during aging.
These initial findings propose that Witholytin® could enhance the creation of new mitochondria (mitochondrial biogenesis) and also improve neuroenergetics – the production, distribution and utilisation of energy within the brain – in cortical circuits.

Beyond water and electrolytes, iodine is a key – often overlooked – component of hydration. Best known for supporting thyroid health, iodine is essential for producing hormones like T4 and T3, which regulate metabolism and influence how cells manage water1.
Our recently launched, innovative PureSea® Protect – a microencapsulated seaweed – is a natural source of iodine that blends easily into a variety of delivery formats, offering excellent water dispersion without the typical taste or aroma of the sea plus the benefit of a neutral colour. It’s an ideal choice for hydration or active nutrition blends and may help support water balance and metabolism.
A healthy thyroid, supported by adequate iodine, may help promote proper fluid distribution and kidney function.

At LEHVOSS Nutrition, we are dedicated to sourcing and offering the highest quality ingredients as part of our Essentials portfolio, which is why we are delighted to introduce a new addition to our range: L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium powder (L-5-MTHF Ca). This ingredient belongs to the folate group of vitamins (Vitamin B9), and its best known as a biologically active and functional form of Folic Acid.
Our Folate L-5-MTHF-Ca has a minimum 99.7% L-5-MTHF-Ca purity, and very good stability matched with a longer shelf life – compared to standard Folic Acid. According to research, Folate L-5-MTHF-Ca is recognised by the body as a “finished” folate, meaning that the human body can utilise it almost immediately without any metabolising required – making it an ideal solution for those suffering with metabolic issues1.

Sustainability is central to Verdure Sciences®’ mission. A clear example is their Bacognize®, Bacopa Extract, where traditional millet and rice farmers now grow bacopa. This initiative supports local communities by providing steady jobs for labourers, positively impacting numerous families. As a result, farmer retention – which started in 2019 – remains strong today.
To ensure high quality and efficiency, polyhouse drying technology has been implemented to reduce drying time by 50% compared to traditional sun drying and in addition, minimise fungal contamination. The entire farming cycle is led by a community farmer group, which oversees operations and receives support at every stage. Expanded warehouse capacity now stores up to 250 metric tons of dried bacopa, ensuring year-round supply and reduced waste. See the impact yourself: Download our Sustainability Report.

Univestin® is a unique and natural, plant-based formula designed for humans that is clinically proven to provide fast relief from joint discomfort. Containing two primary actives – baicalin and catechins – this botanical combination was screened from over 1230 medicinal plants, using Unigen’s PhytoLogix®.
Mirroring trends in the human personal wellness sector, the pet-health market shows significant growth. This opens avenues for companies to diversify into pet health, potentially by introducing a valuable product like Anivestin™ to their product line! Anivestin™ features the same plant-based composition, but is tailored to alleviate joint discomfort in animals while also promoting oral health. Research has demonstrated that these two extracts work synergistically in-vivo to produce an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, with regards to both onset and duration.
