Euromed Debuts Botanical Solutions to Support Healthy Aging
10.19.21
Company expands line of Mediterranean fruit and vegetable extracts to include spinach and lemon.
Demand for plant-based nutraceuticals that support healthy and active aging shows no sign of abating. Euromed will showcase newly launched products from its Mediterranean fruit and vegetable extract line at Booth 2439.
The expanded product range includes lemon and spinach extracts that are sustainably sourced and processed using proprietary Pure-Hydro Process water-only extraction technology. This scientific advancement preserves natural phytochemicals, avoiding organic solvent residues. Euromed’s botanical concentrates are suited for use in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and, nutricosmetic applications.
The pandemic brought the need for preventive health measures into sharp focus, highlighting the importance of immune system support, and the need to stay fit and mobile in later life. The Mediterranean diet contains fruits and vegetables abundant in polyphenols, antioxidants, and other nutrients, all of which support these health goals. Inspired by this nutritional model, Euromed has added lemon and spinach to its existing range of olive, pomegranate, fig, and artichoke extracts.
Spinach
Spisar is a natural extract from Spanish spinach leaves (Spinacia oleracea L.) standardized to 20-hydroxyecdysone and obtained through the Pure-Hydro Process extraction technology. Spinach’s natural phytohormone ecdysterone is considered both ergogenic and adaptogenic, contributing to the preservation of muscle function. This has proven to be particularly beneficial for those aged 50-plus, in combination with strength training. A 12-week randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical study (submitted for publication) found that the intake of Spisar in adults in this age group performing physical exercise was associated with beneficial effects in some variables related to muscle function.
Lemon
Wellemon is an extract from Spanish lemon with a standardized content of the natural flavonoid eriocitrin. Among citrus species, lemons have the highest content of eriocitrin, which is known for its antioxidant and healthy aging properties. A clinical study demonstrated that eriocitrin has high bioavailability compared to analogues such as hesperidin found in oranges, thanks to its superior water-solubility. Concentrations of all metabolites, including hesperetin metabolites, were higher after Wellemon intake, than after the consumption of orange extract. This key finding extends its potential health applications to cardiovascular, metabolic and vascular support.
The new product lines and supporting clinical studies will be reviewed by Carsten Smidt, PhD, at a Presentation Theater event on Wednesday, Oct. 27 from 3:40 to 4:35 pm.
