Health ingredients

With life expectancy expanding globally and over 20% of the world’s population to be over 60 years of age by 2050
(1 out of 4 people are over 65 in Europe and North America), consumers are increasingly aware of the importance of healthy living and preventive care at an earlier age.

A trend that the global pandemic has heightened, with consumers choosing products that can support a healthy immune system, as well as mental health, generating a strong demand for functional ingredients and dietary supplements^[1].

Resveratrol is a compound that occurs naturally in grapes and other plants, including peanuts, cranberries and berries. It is also contained in red wine, albeit at low concentrations.

Evolva’s resveratrol is a high-purity ingredient based on nature made via fermentation, which ensures a stable, traceable and reliable supply chain.

By collaborating with award-winning technology companies, we provide resveratrol in new ingredient solution formats such as the cold-water dispersible resveratrol powder, Veri-Sperse^TM, made using Pharmako’s patented LipiSperse^® technology, and Veri-te Aqua^TM, a soluble resveratrol addressing market needs especially in functional beverages. Such innovative delivery technologies offer the opportunity for customers to meet the changing consumer demands for new resveratrol product formats.

Additionally, Evolva continues to invest in clinical studies to contribute to the expanding body of evidence that resveratrol supports healthy living in humans and animals (more than 1,400 studies were published in 2020 reporting the benefits of resveratrol supplementation on immune health, cardiovascular conditions, cognitive health, bone health, skin health, eye health and oral health). These include studies on companion animals: the outcomes show benefits particularly in the areas of joint and bone health, cardiovascular health, metabolic health, and cognitive health. Building on this evidence we have developed a formulation to be integrated in pet dietary supplements. Veri-te^TM Pets resveratrol is available in food grade 98% and can be formulated into multiple applications, including pellets, powder, and soft chews.

Due to its large spectrum of applications resveratrol remains key in the ingredient manufacturers and formulators strategies.
