Stratum Nutrition, a Novus International Business focusing on nutrition through functional and specialty ingredients, will be introducing ACTAZIN™, a whole fruit kiwi ingredient for digestive regularity during SupplySide West at booth #13023.
“ACTAZIN supports the digestive health platform within our portfolio strategy. We are excited to offer this a natural, whole food, easy to understand supplement ingredient,” says Jeremy Moore, Global Business Director for Stratum Nutrition.
ACTAZIN is a standardized kiwifruit supplement ingredient for regularity. This new digestive support ingredient comes from the superior New Zealand green kiwifruit, which has been shown to support digestive health by promoting regularity, gut motility and other long-term digestive health benefits. ACTAZIN has a unique, natural composition of gut health supporting nutrients including a standardized level of actinidin, a proteolytic enzyme unique to kiwifruit, insoluble and soluble fiber, prebiotics, and high level of polyphenolics.
“New Zealanders have long understood the value and benefit of kiwifruit for digestive health”, advised Grant Washington-Smith, a spokesperson for the ACTAZIN™ product and Anagenix Ltd, the company that manufacturers this ingredient. “We are confident that the US market will feel the benefit that New Zealanders have known of this novel approach to digestive health, without the associated side effect profile often associated with high fiber diets”.
ACTAZIN has been added to the Stratum Nutrition portfolio by way of a technology partnership with Anagenix Ltd. This partnership will allow Stratum Nutrition to bring this kiwifruit product, manufactured by Anagenix to market in the US, Europe, Canada, and other regions – as well as help to further the science supporting the health benefits associated.
