Healthy ageing with natural extracts

Euromed will focus on its new line of evidence-based Mediterranean fruit extracts for healthy ageing at Vitafoods Europe.

The novel artichoke extract Cynamed joins the already established Mediterranean compounds of the firm: pomegranate (Pomanox), olive (Mediteanox) and fig (ABAlife).

All Mediterranean extracts are obtained through water-only, pure-hydro process technology and are suitable for use in nutritional supplements, functional foods, beverages and pharmaceuticals

In addition, Euromed – which is soon celebrating its 50th anniversary – is the official sponsor of Vitafoods’ Nootropics Summit. During this conference, Andrea Zangara, head of scientific communications & marketing at Euromed, will highlight issues, challenges and applications for botanical nootropics.

Inspired by evidence that a Mediterranean-style diet may help alleviate physical frailty and cognitive decline, Euromed offers standardised natural extracts with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and prebiotic effect.

In his presentation, he will outline key drivers for practice, research and marketing, and focus on the company’s novel botanical compounds for the improvement and maintenance of mental health, as well as overall quality of life. Here are some examples:

Pomegranate

Euromed’s full-spectrum polyphenol pomegranate extract Pomanox addresses conditions associated with cognitive frailty: it modulates biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress, promotes cardiovascular and metabolic health, reduces stress hormones while improving mood and mental performance, and counteracts physical fatigue while enhancing peak performance.

Olive

The olive extract Mediteanox offers another healthy ageing effect. Based on its high standardised content of hydroxytyrosol – a powerful antioxidant polyphenol – Mediteanox is clinically proven to enhance blood circulation and reduce LDL cholesterol oxidation levels.

Fig

For natural blood sugar control, Euromed offers ABAlife, a patented extract of Spanish figs with a high, standardised abscisic acid (ABA) content. ABA is a plant hormone that plays an important role in the management of blood sugar homeostasis.

Artichoke

Cynamed is a water-soluble extract from the edible part of artichoke (the flower) with significant prebiotic potential that complements artichoke’s traditional digestive benefits. With inulin and caffeoylquinic acids, Cynamed may contribute to a well-balanced gut flora, a healthy digestive tract and improved quality of life.
