Stratum Nutrition, St. Louis, MO, a Novus International business that focuses on human nutrition through functional and specialty ingredients, has entered a strategic partnership with international functional ingredients manufacturer KitoZyme.
Based in Herstal, Belgium, KitoZyme manufactures a new vegetarian ingredient, chitin-glucan, which supports arterial and overall heart health. Stratum Nutrition will further advance the science, global sales and marketing of chitin-glucan.
"KitoZyme has developed a novel, patented chitin-glucan ingredient," said Jeremy Moore, director of marketing for Stratum Nutrition. "Through this partnership, we will utilize our R&D, branding, marketing and sales expertise to expand its use in a variety of finished goods to support heart and overall health. Not only is heart health a key area of focus for us at Stratum, but this ingredient is obtained exclusively from renewable, non-GMO sources, which aligns with our corporate commitment to social responsibility and sustainable business practices."
Stratum Nutrition officially launched in November 2009 with the purpose of bringing to market unique and/or patented technologies with solid intellectual property, strong scientific and clinical research and progressive product applications in vital health categories such as immune health, bone and joint health, weight management and healthy aging.
