While the health benefits of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids are increasingly recognised, the challenges posed by sourcing exclusively from fish are also on the radar, opening up opportunities for innovation. In fact, these long-chain omega-3s come to the fish themselves via algae, which has prompted great interest over years in how algal production could be optimised to deliver these beneficial health ingredients in a more sustainable way. Over the past five years, Vaxa has worked to take advantage of power from the Hellisheidi Power Station in Iceland to power a unique, closed-loop, controlled aquaculture facility. The indoor growth platform uses machine learning technology for controlled, scaleable, fresh microalgae production. This summer, Vaxa launched a consumer products division—Örlo Nutrition; the name is derived from a unique combination of Icelandic words: Örlog meaning ‘fate' (fortune, destiny) and Ör derived from ‘micro.' In this podcast, Corrina Bellizzi shares more about Vaxa's journey, the sustainability story, and the potential for growth in this market. Tune in to hear more about:  Why the global omega-3 market is ripe for change, and the potential positives on the climate.

Brands must spend the time to choose the right partner to help them go-to-market; assessing capabilities of a manufacturer is only part of the process. Food supplement brands are looking to deliver the best possible product to consumers—one with a solid formulation, grounding in science, and efficacious delivery of nutrients.

Upcycling is a new term highlighting the ability to make the most of surplus food waste; Alvinesa has been on this path for decades, and is accelerating its efforts. Upcycling allows firms to make the most of surplus waste, such as food waste, to incrementally add value to the supply chain. While it's not a new concept, the term itself has taken on greater resonance in recent years as companies seek to make the most of every part of their base ingredients.

Developing new solutions to support performance and address inflammation can mean going beyond ‘popular' ingredients into unique offerings.  While there is a great amount of consumer and market interest in cannabidiol (CBD), there remain market and regulatory constraints, as well as questions on its efficacy for addressing certain conditions. However, there are other ingredient options that may be better suited for addressing issues such as recovery, pain, sleep, and immune health. Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is one such ingredient that has scientifically supported efficacy in these areas, and may serve as an alternative to CBD. Gencor Pacific offers https://www.gencorpacific.com/ingredients/levagen (Levagen®+,) a bioavailable PEA powered by LipiSperse® technology.

Companies seeking to do business in the fast-growing food supplement market in the United States must ensure they're compliant with federal regs. Since the mid-1990s, the United States has been on the cutting edge of dietary and food supplement innovation, following the passage of legislation that carved out a regulatory category as a sub-set of food. Bolstered by consumer interest in preventive health, the industry has seen steady growth even in the face of questions about the level of FDA oversight of the supplement category. One of the fundamental pieces of supplement regulation is good manufacturing practices—GMPs—that are a requirement for bringing compliant products to market. In this podcast, Dr Tara Lin Couch, senior director for dietary supplements and tobacco services at EAS Consulting, shares insights around FDA's supplement GMPs, common misconceptions, and much more. Tune in to hear more about: Shifts in the US dietary supplement landscape in the last two years, and what the ‘new normal' looks like. Ways for overseas firms to stay abreast on the regulations impacting their business in the United States. The latest regulatory changes affecting food and dietary supplement production. How companies that market finished supplements can ensure their producers are compliant with GMPs.

While it is common to measure age chronologically, research is establishing that biological age is a better marker to determine the length of ones healthspan. This is because our biological age can be influenced by many components including genetics, lifestyle, and disease. A https://www.aging-us.com/article/203736/text (recent study) published in Aging (DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.203736 (https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.203736)) demonstrated that Rejuvant, a timed-release CaAKG (calcium alpha-ketoglutarate) with vitamins, is a potential life-extending formulation. After seven months of use, Rejuvant decreased the biological age of participants by an average of eight years, in the TruAge DNA methylation test. Brian K. Kennedy, Ph.D., one of the lead authors of the study noted that the results suggest that Rejuvant is an intriguing candidate to affect human aging and that the results are encouraging for increasing health span in both men and women. Tune in to hear about:  How Rejuvant supports healthy ageing What frequency and dosage provides the most benefit?

While Europe has been a challenging market for probiotics marketing and claims, shifts at the European Commission level may open up new opportunities. While probiotics sales are growing in most countries around the globe, Europe has seen a less robust uptake, constrained perhaps by a regulatory environment that disallows most claims for probiotic products on pack and in marketing. However, there may be positive news on the horizon for companies seeking to communicate the health benefits of their probiotic-containing products. In this podcast, David Pineda Ereño, founder of DPE International Consulting and a consultant to the International Probiotics Association (IPA), shares his take on the possible shifts that could happen at a European level, as well the positive changes already taking place in markets such as Italy and the Czech Republic. Tune in to hear more about: How the current landscape is constraining growth for probiotics products in Europe. The potential for finished product companies to communicate the health benefits of probiotic products to consumers. Which countries offer whitespace opportunities for CPG companies in the probiotics space. Why companies should collaborate to push for regulatory change.

Entrepreneurial spirit meets global barley domination in EverGrain's move to marry upcycling and functional food ingredients One of the first cultivated grains of the Fertile Crescent, barley has been used for millennia in foods and beverages, from breads and animal feed to malt and beer. Today, while it is one of the most common grains cultivated globally, it doesn't have the same high profile in the food ingredients space as others, a challenge that EverGrain is now tackling. Officially introduced in 2020 after a multi-year investment by AB InBev, EverGrain is looking at new ways to create unique plant-based ingredients from barley, with a commitment to sustainability through upcycling. In this podcast, Jacqueline Hochreiter, global director of strategy and sustainability with EverGrain, delves into the organization's path to market, including the entrepreneurial spirit of the founding team and their desire to make barley ‘cool' again. Tune in to hear more about: Defining ‘upcycling' and its ability to shape a more sustainable future for the food and nutraceutical industry. Why an investment in not only technology but intellectual property is important to secure the future of unique functional ingredients. Insights on the development of new proteins and fibres with both consumer appeal and formulation benefits. New opportunities for brands to extend their reach in the space.
