Bordeaux, FRANCE—October 11, 2022— Specializing in the development of nutraceutical ingredients, Activ’Inside is a French biotech company that prioritizes supplying the food supplement industry with active botanical extract that work. Science- and customer-driven, the company provides deep insight into its raw materials, offering its clients the richest source of active molecules with the highest scientific standards. The company will be attending SupplySide West 2022 at booth #6014 to discuss its cognitive health and nutricosmetic ingredients and the extensive research supporting them.
Working with 10 academic and industrial partners and 22 scientists, Ph.D.s and engineers, Activ’Inside used a pharma-like development cycle to create one of the best ingredients available for cognitive health: Memophenol™. Memophenol™ went through molecule screening, six pre-clinical studies, and nine proprietary gold standard clinicals (published in scientific journals and earning two patents) to validate the combination of French champagne grapes and wild blueberry extracts. The blend concentrates the spectrum of essential polyphenols for a triple synergistic effect: higher bioavailability, improved neuroprotection and increased antioxidant capacities. The research on seniors, students and gamers has proven that Memophenol™ is an efficacious method to improve neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, thereby helping consumers to restore memory, boost concentration, extend mental endurance and boost overall cognitive performance.
Its first nutricosmetic ingredient, Skinax2™, uses grape flavonol monomers, bioactive SuperOxide Dismutase (SOD), coated vitamin C and Zinc to deliver a synergist blast of anti-aging and collagen-boosting potential. A consumer study on Skinax2™ resulted in 82% of participants leaving satisfied with the outcomes of the supplement trial. This is because, while most nutricosmetic ingredients focus on secondary antioxidants as a main defense for the skin, Skinax2™ takes things a step further by also introducing primary antioxidants for a more holistic source of skin protection. Additionally, Activ’Inside discovered the right blend of vegan ingredients that would act as the perfect collagen booster. Skinax2™ helps the body to improve natural collagen production for a healthier glow and improved skin elasticity.
Activ’Inside’s new ingredient Belight3™ was researched and developed as a targeted nutricosmetic solution for dark spots. Human trials found that the synergistic combination of grape monomers, licorice extract, vitamin C and grape viniferin improved melanin regulation in as little as 10 days. Dermatologists evaluating Belight3™ found that it was able to efficaciously reduce dark spots related to age, sun exposure and pregnancy.
“The primary focus behind all of our ingredient development is performing a comprehensive range of scientific trials that will show that our ingredients do what we claim and do them well,” said Benoit Lemaire, CEO of Activ’Inside. “To do so, we invest 20 percent of our revenue in R&D and, so far, we have earned 17 patents and published more than 20 studies on our ingredients. I’m excited to present these top tier active ingredients at SupplySide West and look forward to the positive impact new partnerships can have on consumer health.”
Activ’Inside’s plant-based ingredients provide formulators the versatility to include these into food supplement solutions. Activ’Inside will be providing capsulated samples of its champagne-derived Memophenol™, SkinAx²™, SkinAx²™ Lift and Belight3™ ingredients. You can meet the team behind these ingredients and learn more about each one by visiting booth #6014 at SSW on November 2-3.
