Pharmachem Laboratories Inc., Kearny, NJ, has acquired the exclusive distribution rights in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada for Lactium, an all-natural ingredient made from cow’s milk proteins that has been clinically shown to reduce the effects of stress and promote relaxation. Lactium was developed and patented by French firm Ingredia for use in food supplements, as well as functional foods and beverages.
In other news, Pharmachem has teamed up with John I. Haas, Inc., (JIH), a grower and processor of hops and hop products, to develop and market innovative extracts and derivatives to the nutraceutical and supplement industries. JIH will produce and supply Pharmachem with standardized raw materials, and Pharmachem will provide technical expertise and processing services to develop delivery forms with unique characteristics and stability profiles. A recent result of the collaboration between the two companies is the introduction of Perluxan, a proprietary standardized extract of hops that has been shown to reduce pain-causing compounds in a short time with a low dose. In human clinical studies, Perluxan was tested alongside over-the-counter pain relievers and was found to be comparable in its ability to reduce pro-inflammatory chemicals and derivatives.
