This achievement highlights a strong commitment to sustainability, food safety, and scientific innovation, following a rigorous certification process that assures consumers of their non-GMO status and quality.
Ensuring quality and trust: The Non-GMO commitment
The Non-GMO Project certification represents a significant milestone for BrainPhyt, PhaeOptim and ZenGut, reflecting a steadfast commitment to delivering natural and safe ingredients for consumers. This certification not only enhances the trust of customers and partners in the quality and safety of these products but also aligns with the increasing consumer demand for verified non-GMO options. The Non-GMO Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting sources of non-GMO products, educating consumers, and providing verified non-GMO choices. Known for its rigorous standards, the Project is North America’s most trusted third-party verifier for non-GMO food and products.
A patented and innovative production method
BrainPhyt, PhaeOptim and ZenGut are produced in France using an exclusive technology. This method involves cultivating microalgae in advanced photobioreactors, allowing for controlled and sustainable culture practices. The production process ensures that the ingredients are high-quality, free from pesticides and genetically modified organisms, while minimizing environmental impact.
Promoting well-being through innovative microalgae solutions
BrainPhyt is a patented ingredient derived from the microalgae Phaeodactylum tricornutum, standardized at 2% fucoxanthin and specifically designed to support and enhance cognitive functions throughout life. Its efficacy has been demonstrated through a preclinical study, where it surpassed benchmarks in enhancing short-term memory and spatial memory. Additionally, its benefits were confirmed in 2 human clinical trials, highlighting its positive impact on cognitive health.
Similarly, PhaeOptim, also sourced from Phaeodactylum tricornutum, has been studied for its benefits in supporting efforts toward a healthier lifestyle with a clinical study done 100% on women. Clinical research has shown that PhaeOptim effectively enhanced exercise capacity, strengthened cardiovascular fitness and impressively improved bone health.
ZenGut, the latest Microphyt’s innovation unveiled at SupplySide West 2024, is a sustainable ingredient designed for digestive health and that also improves emotional well-being. It is derived from Tetradesmus obliquus, a specie of microalgae never marketed before! Clinical research has demonstrated that ZenGut improves digestive balance and overall well-being through the gut-brain axis.
These three ingredients have been validated in human clinical studies, demonstrating their effectiveness and ability to improve quality of life, meeting the growing demand for natural and effective health solutions.
