Top Of The News

“The products generated through the Cargill/BASF Plant Science collaboration will address two key issues facing companies seeking to deliver omega 3s to global consumers: shelf stability and cost.” —Cargill/BASF

Cargill & BASF to Develop EPA/DHA-Rich Canola Oil

Cargill, Minneapolis, MN, and BASF Plant Science, Limburgerhof, Germany, have joined forces to co-develop a new dietary source of EPA/DHA. This next generation canola oil containing EPA/DHA will enable food, pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement manufacturers to deliver the potential health benefits of omega 3 fatty acids in a wide variety of new, cost-effective consumer products available by the end of the decade. Cargill and BASF Plant Science’s multi-year development and commercialization agreement reflects the complementary competencies that both companies bring to the partnership in the EPA/DHA canola field—specifically, Cargill’s food applications capabilities and existing commercial relationships with major food manufacturers and food service operators globally, and BASF Plant Science’s expertise in genetically enhancing EPA/DHA levels in canola seed oil and deregulating it for use in food products. BASF Plant Science foresees a total investment of more than €150 million euros ($208 million). The products generated through the Cargill/BASF Plant Science collaboration will address two key issues facing companies seeking to deliver omega 3s to global consumers: shelf stability and cost. “Both BASF Plant Science and Cargill believe the market for omega 3s is very attractive long-term and that this co-development and commercialization partnership will create value for our customers and both companies,”said Marc Ehrhardt, senior vice president, BASF Plant Science.“The combination of BASF’s innovative technology and Cargill’s leading position in the global supply chain for canola oil will make EPA/DHA canola oil-based products broadly accessible to consumers globally.”

Starbucks Acquires Premium Juice Company

Looking to“redefine and grow the super-premium juice market,”Starbucks Coffee Company, Seattle, WA, has acquired Evolution Fresh, Inc., San Bernardino, CA, for $30 million. “Our intent is to build a national Health and Wellness brand leveraging our scale, resources and premium product expertise,” said Howard Schultz, Starbucks chairman, president and CEO.“Bringing Evolution Fresh into the Starbucks family marks an important step forward in this pursuit. Over the last year-and-a-half we have looked comprehensively at possible opportunities and chose Evolution Fresh because it stood above anything else in terms of premium quality, nutrition and potential for growth.”Starbucks said it recognizes an opportunity to attract new customers as well as meet needs of existing customers looking for nutritious beverage and food options. (For more details on this acquisition, see this month’s “Word From Wall Street” column on page 28.)

CSPI Calls for Warning Labels on St. John’s Wort Products

The non-profit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), Washington, D.C. has called on FDA to require a warning label on dietary supplements containing St. John’s Wort, saying these products may interfere with birth control, antidepressants, blood thinners and other prescription and over-the-counter drugs. St. John’s Wort is a flowering plant often promoted for its supposed antidepressant properties. But CSPI said that individuals who take it with prescription antidepressants might unwittingly be counteracting the very treatment they are seeking. Similarly, women taking St. John’s Wort and oral contraceptives may have unplanned pregnancies.

From The Editor

Finding the Perfect Genes I have a good friend who is expecting her second child—another boy—and she and her husband are really excited. So naturally they have been scrambling to make sure everything is in place before the“big day.” One of the biggest things on their list was finding life insurance, which they figured would be easy since they’ve long used the same insurance company for other matters. She told me they like the company because it has a good reputation and has treated them very well over the years. That is, until now. Without going into too much detail, my friend has a genetic mutation that to doctors and insurance companies is a red flag for a future of chronic disease. However, everything else—e.g., her weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc.—is “above average” in the health department. Regardless, the life insurance company doubled the very low premium she was originally quoted. The reason? Her genes. Now, she has known about this genetic mutation for several years, which is precisely why she has tried to the best of her ability to live a healthy lifestyle, including taking supplements, exercising regularly and eating right. She never for one minute considered the possibility that this genetic information could be used against her. In a conversation with the insurance underwriter, my friend said,“So let me get this straight—you guys are penalizing me for my genes, something that no matter how hard I try I cannot change?”The underwriter said,“Well, I guess that’s one way of looking at it.” During the last decade there has been a lot of debate surrounding the use of genetic information in relation to insurance—health insurance companies have used it to deny coverage, while life insurance companies have used it to raise premiums. The legal and ethical issues are endless. On the flipside, the burgeoning study of nutrigenomics (i.e., personalized nutrition) is looking to use genetic information to do some good (and this is the way it should be). The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) became federal law in 2008. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of genetic information in relation to health insurance and employment, but it does not cover life insurance, disability or long-term care insurance. Here’s the way I see it. First of all, having this genetic mutation in no way guarantees that my friend will actually develop the disease it is indicated for in the future. Even more important, because she knows she has this genetic mutation, she has tried to keep all other risk factors—e.g., weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc.—in check. (But what’s the point now, especially if she is going to be treated as if she lives her life recklessly? Forget the exercise, omega 3s, folic acid and baby aspirin; bring on the cigarettes, booze and Big Macs!) I have always advocated for prevention and believe wholeheartedly—irrespective of the industry I write about—it is one of few things that can change the fate of the greatest number of people on this planet, as far as health is concerned. Clearly, insurance companies feel differently and it is this industry’s job to change that, seeing how prevention forms the very foundation for a majority of the products it produces. Besides, what’s the point of perfect genes when we live in such an imperfect world?

European Commission Approves Stevia in EU The European Commission has authorized the use of steviol glycosides as a noncaloric sweetener in the European market. The International Stevia Council, an authoritative voice for the stevia industry,

applauded the final approval. “The final hurdle in the regulatory process for steviol glycosides—the scrutiny of the regulation by the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers—has been cleared,” said Maria Teresa Scardigli, the council’s executive director.

Program to Address Adulteration of Botanical Ingredients Experts will produce white papers to guide industry and protect consumers. Three leading non-profit organizations—the American Botanical Council (ABC), the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia (AHP) and the University of Mississippi’s National Center for Natural Products Research (NCNPR)—have initiated a large-scale program to educate members of the herbal and dietary supplement industry about ingredient and product adulteration. Responsible parties in the herbal and dietary supplement community have become increasingly concerned about the suspected and confirmed practice of adulteration of numerous ingredients. The existence of adulteration raises questions about the identity and quality of some popular herbal ingredients sold in dietary supplements in the U.S. and in other botanical products (e.g., medicines, cosmetics, etc.) in global markets. “There is a major problem in the global herb and dietary supplements industry in which there appears to be a persistent availability of adulterated herbs, herbal extracts, essential oils and other plantderived dietary ingredients,” said Mark Blumenthal, ABC founder and executive director. Adulteration of botanical ingredients can be accidental or deliberate. The ABC-AHP-NCNPR Botanical Adulterants Program will focus on both accidental adulteration that occurs as a result of poor quality-control procedures, as well as the intentional adulteration of plant-based products for financial gain. FDA has held a public conference on this issue, which the agency named “economically motivated adulteration” (EMA). This industry-funded program aspires to serve as a self-regulatory mechanism for industry to address adulteration problems through education rather than federal regulation. Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations defines adulteration as the “Addition of an impure, cheap or unnecessary ingredient to cheat, cheapen or falsify an ingredient or preparation.” The Code also considers a product adulterated ”if any substance has been

In the program’s first published paper, “A Brief History of Adulteration of Herbs, Spices, and Botanical Drugs,” noted botanical expert Steven Foster provides a history of accidental and intentional adulteration of botanical ingredients spanning the past two millennia. The article appears in ABC’s journal HerbalGram (November issue number 92). In addition to the series of white papers, The Adulterants Program will include contributions and consultations from some of the leading independent third-party laboratories with experience in quality control and botanical identification issues. The editorial committee, which will advise on all technical publications, includes expert scientists from various universities, government agencies and third-party analytical laboratories with extensive knowledge of herbal quality control. The Program is also being supported by several trade associations in the dietary supplement industry: the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), the Natural Products Association (NPA) and the United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA).

Getting Ahead of the Curve: Diabetes & Blood Sugar Management By Dr. A. Elizabeth Sloan Two first-time ever campaigns by the world’s leading diabetes associations have put efforts to prevent, curtail and cope with diabetes on the front burner, creating a bevy of new supplement and functional food/beverage opportunities. In September 20 the International Diabetes Foundation (IDF) launched its first-ever “Global Diabetes Plan,” with a focus of joining forces with the UN’s Non-Communicable Diseases Summit to combat diabetes, cancer, heart and chronic respiratory diseases worldwide. Stateside, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) introduced a new prevention campaign, “Join the Millions in the Fight to Stop Diabetes,” shining a new spotlight on risk factor control. New cases of adult diabetes in the U.S. continue to be diagnosed at epidemic rates; .9 million in 200 (ADA, 20). Led by India and China, IDF estimates that 3 million people globally struggle with the disease. In 200, 22.7 million U.S. households had a member coping with diabetes, according to SymphonyIRI’s 200 “OTC Medication Report,” which estimated the annual sales potential for diabetes related OTC drugs and supplements at $3.4 billion. But, while marketing products to America’s 8.8 million diagnosed diabetics is often difficult as they tend to be very Rx dependant, it’s the precursor and risk factor reduction markets that perhaps offer the greatest opportunity.

Control & Prevention (CDC) report that 79 million U.S. adults are pre-diabetic. Moreover, 35% of men and 33% of women age 20+ have Metabolic Syndrome;  in 0 or 2.9 million kids aged 2-9. High blood glucose is the 4th largest cause of preventable death in America—behind smoking, obesity and high blood pressure (Danaei et. al., PLoS Med. 2009 Apr 28;6(4):e1000058. Epub 2009 Apr 28). High cholesterol, high trans fatty acids, low omega 3s, high sodium, alcohol and low intake of fruits/vegetables all caused fewer deaths compared with high blood glucose. Market Potential According to Sloan Trends’ TrendSense model, diabetes reached Mega Market status in 200 and remains among the largest and fastest growing nutraceutical market opportunities in 20. Medical Counts have accelerated at an explosive rate throughout the decade with more than 80,000 new research studies published in 200. Diabetes and children is currently a very large and highly desirable High Level 2/Low Level 3 mass market. All four diabetes-precursor/risk factors shown below are also enjoying meteoritic growth in Medical Counts, showing strong and growing scientific support for their relationship to diabetes, although their degree of marketability is currently at different levels and lifecycle stages. Insulin resistance is a large and stable Level 2 mass market opportunity—on par with vitamin D and omega 3s. There is no doubt that loss of insulin sensitivity increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and other manifestations of metabolic syndrome. It is a well defined and recognized biomarker that essentially constitutes “healthy blood sugar levels.” Metabolic Syndrome became a Level 2 mass market in 2007, along with blood sugar control/management in 200, although they have respectively been a mass market opportunity since 2003 and 2005. While Medical Counts appear to be somewhat lower for blood sugar management than Met X or insulin sensitivity, they are at a respectable 2500 and will maintain a strong Level 2 or very

high Level 1 mass market for the foreseeable future. Pre-diabetes has been flirting with crossing into the Popularization Phases since 2006 and is now perfectly positioned to attract health food/specialty shoppers and very healthy conscious and condition-specific consumers. Marketers focused on these channels should have products and promotional materials in place. The Glycemic Index is also similarly poised as a specialty channel opportunity at this time. Growth Opportunities • In the U.S., nearly 26 million children and adults have diabetes;  million have not yet been diagnosed (ADA, 2011). • ADA and NIH recommend those aged 45+ be tested for pre-diabetes regardless of weight. • America’s 8 million Boomers are in the age group (40-64) most likely to be diagnosed with diabetes (ADA, 2010). • By 2020, 52% of the U.S. adult population will have diabetes or pre-diabetes (United Healthcare, “United States of Diabetes” Nov. 2010). • America’s increasing ethnic mix will fuel diabetes growth—incidence 6.6% Whites, 11.8% Blacks, 10% Hispanics, .5% Asian Americans (ADA, 2010). • 42% of primary grocery shoppers are extremely or very concerned about diabetes (HealthFocus, 2011). • 26% of consumers always/usually choose foods to “manage blood sugar levels” (HealthFocus, 2011). • Those 55+ are most interested in foods that help maintain healthy blood sugar levels; one-third of the U.S. population is aged 55+ (Mintel, “Functional Foods 2009”). Functional Foods Blood sugar management represents a fast accelerating opportunity for functional food marketers not only as it relates to diabetes, but also to other conditions, e.g. weight, energy, etc. Half (53%) of consumers want functional foods/beverages that promote healthy blood sugar levels (Mintel, 2009). More than onethird (36%) of primary grocery shoppers think that “helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels” is a very/extremely important claim (HealthFocus, 2011). Half (51%) of shoppers also believe that dietary changes can treat or avoid high blood glucose (blood sugar) levels. For perspective, 54% believe the same of high cholesterol (HealthFocus, 2011). Six in 10 (60%) shoppers are extremely interested in low glycemic foods that are important for controlling blood sugar levels. From an ingredient standpoint, clinical studies are demonstrating that resistant starch from high amylose corn significantly increases insulin sensitivity in healthy people and especially in individuals with insulin resistance. The latest clinical trial found a 56-3% improvement in insulin sensitivity in overweight men consuming 3-6 table-

spoons of high amylose corn resistant starch/day. Intact whole grains (which also delivers resistant starch) have also been shown to improve insulin sensitivity. Dietary Supplements Diabetes already represents a strong and growing opportunity for supplement marketers especially with the new emphasis on prevention. With 5% of consumers looking for multi-functional supplements, diabetic products that also help to alleviate other health issues/risk factors will be in high demand. For example, risk of stroke is 2-4 times higher in diabetics, 64% take Rx drugs for blood pressure, 50-0% have mild/severe nervous system damage, 5% high cholesterol and 80% are overweight (ADA, 2010). FDA requires that diabetes medicines also be checked for heart disease risk, because the connection between the two conditions is so strong. References furnished upon request.

Elizabeth Sloan is president of Sloan Trends, Inc., Escondido, CA, which is a consulting firm that offers trend-tracking and predictions, strategic counsel and business-building ideas for food, supplement and pharmaceutical marketers. Each month she will provide analysis and discuss opportunities of a particular market being covered in a given issue. SLOAN TRENDS’ TRENDSENSE is a 15-year-old trend tracking system, which identifies and quantifies trends as well as predicts the optimal timing, sustainability and life-cycle stage of ingredients, terms, product opportunities and related market issues. The model displays medical and consumer “activity levels” based on a comprehensive analysis of five critical sources of information— consumer, trade and competitive, legal and regulatory and media coverage. The resulting charts give insight into the market’s changing health issues and concerns, the ingredients that are up-and-coming and those that have just about run their course, as well as what health claims, marketing messages and products will bring your company the most success. • Emerging Phase = Trends begin to appear on the radar screen. Companies should begin to collect literature and market details for those that exhibit continual growth and that might be of interest. • Popularization Phase = Medical/Nutrition crossover to consumer media and marketplace; opportunity for niche or specialty markets. Marketers/manufacturers should begin a detailed evaluation of the supporting marketing and scientific data and determine if this term/trend offers a good strategic fit and is appropriate to pursue. Appropriate product development procedures should be undertaken. • Commercialization Phase = Mass-market ready. Mainstream consumers have a significant degree of familiarity with the term/trend and there is opportunity for competitive advantage by getting out ahead of the competition or by providing a unique and highly innovative product positioning for success.

Journal Publishes Science Behind Food Ratings The algorithm for Guiding Stars, a storewide nutrition guidance program, has been published in the November/December 2011 issue of the American Journal of Health Promotion, allowing the public to understand the scientific basis for the nutritional ratings of foods. The publication showcases the research and development that went into the Guiding Stars algorithm, and the important role a transparent program can have in simplifying the process of choosing healthier foods in all areas of the supermarket. Guiding Stars was recently awarded patent protection for its nutrition rating algorithm, which is grounded in evidencebased science and the most current dietary guidelines and recommendations of leading national and international health organizations, such as FDA and USDA. The system credits all edible foods based on the presence of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and whole grains, and debits for the presence of trans fat, saturated fats, cho-

lesterol, added sugars and added sodium. Food items are then awarded zero, one, two or three stars—one star means good nutritional value; two stars, better nutritional value; and three stars, the best nutritional value. Fewer than 25% of all food and beverage grocery items meet the criteria to receive a rating of one or more stars.

Revenue Rising in Vitamin & Supplement Manufacturing Market Healthcare reform, an aging population and growth in the number and variety of dietary supplements offered will boost revenue for the vitamin and supplement manufacturing industry at an average rate of 4.5% annually to nearly $35 billion in the five years to 2016, according to IBISWorld, publisher of industry research. In 2011 and 2012, revenue is forecast to increase almost 4% to nearly $28 billion and 5% to $29 billion, respectively, which is a reflection of a growing economy, improved consumer sentiment and the associated rise in spending on industry products.

Although sales in the vitamin and supplement manufacturing industry declined during the recession, the rise in unemployment resulted in lost health insurance coverage for many individuals during 2008 and 2009. In turn, reduced coverage caused out-of-pocket healthcare costs to increase and encouraged consumers to seek out preventive care products, such as vitamins and other nutritional supplements, which are generally cheaper than traditional healthcare. According to IBISWorld analyst, Nima Samadi, the number of industry establishments in the vitamin and supplement manufacturing industry is expected to grow more than 1% per year to 1832 over the five years as companies expand in response to the steady rise in demand for industry products.“Imports are also expected to grow over the period at an average annual rate of 4% to $5.7 billion as both retailers and domestic vitamin and supplement manufacturing companies look for ways to cut costs by sourcing and manufacturing abroad.”

Although growing competition from cheaper imports will pressure the prices industry operators charge for health products, healthcare reform, an aging population and favorable attitudes toward health are anticipated to continue boosting demand for vitamins and supplements. Healthcare reform will likely encourage the use of preventive care and alternative medicine, in turn, driving demand for vitamins and dietary supplements.

Americans away from taking dietary supplements to improve their health is just plain irresponsible. Consumers deserve to hear more about the many benefits of vitamins and other dietary supplements, and I call on the Wall Street Journal to bring fairness to its reporting.” The story discussed two recent studies NPA believes did a disservice to dietary

supplement consumers. The Wall Street Journal acknowledged,“Observational trials can only show an association, not a cause and effect,”Mr. Gay noted.“We agree, and find it troubling that a story in the Journal would use such a study to assert that ‘the case for dietary supplements is collapsing.’ In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

Omega 3 Supplier Enters Consumer Healthcare Business Pronova BioPharma ASA has unveiled plans to expand into the consumer healthcare market, enabling the company to leverage its position as a leading manufacturer of pharmaceutical grade omega 3 derived products.The company will develop its business in the omega 3 consumer healthcare market over the next year, initially targeting the high concentrate dietary supplement market, which is expected to double in size over the next five years, according to Pronova and the Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3 (GOED). Development of the Consumer Healthcare business will offer synergies with the company’s existing pharmaceutical business, which manufactures the highly successful Omacor/Lovaza drug. Pronova is also developing a pipeline of prescriptiononly pharmaceutical products, including PRC-4016, which is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of combined dyslipidemia. The company will seek appropriate partners to market and sell its consumer products around the world while also adjusting the manufacturing processes for consumer products, initiating small clinical trials and developing distribution channels.

NPA Challenges WSJ Article on Supplements The Natural Products Association (NPA), Washington, D.C., responded to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal about the benefits of vitamins, calling the reporting “irresponsible”and“inaccurate.”John Gay, executive director and CEO, NPA, said:“It is disappointing that the Wall Street Journal would devote space to such a sensationalist and inaccurate item.

show that vitamins have real and widely accepted health benefits. These include providing nutrients, boosting immune systems and improving overall health. Even the authors of the vitamin E study mentioned in the article noted the benefit of vitamin E with Alzheimer’s disease and age-related macular degeneration.” Mr. Gay continued, saying,“The article itself notes that calcium is ‘important to bone health’ and folic acid ‘reduces the likelihood of a common birth defect if taken by pregnant women.’ It also states that:‘Researchers and nutritionists are still recommending dietary supplements for the malnourished or people with certain nutrient deficiencies or medical conditions.’ Far from collapsing, the case for vi-

tamins is supported by experts who know best the value of good nutrition. That is why NPA has long advocated that consumers use dietary supplements as part of a healthy lifestyle. Half of all Americans take dietary supplements because they know they work.” Jeff Wright, NPA president and owner of Wright’s Nutrients in New Port Richey, FL, added his comments, saying:“Like so many of my fellow health food store owners, I’m dedicated to helping consumers supplement their diets with the nutrients they need. Research is the cornerstone of our industry, and it seems that every week there is a new report about the importance of vitamins to the health of millions of Americans. Stories like the one in the Wall Street Jour-

Agri-Industry’s Vested Interests Exposed USDA fails to support public health interests. USDA’s interest protects that of industry—not the American public, conclude leading researchers Walter Willett, MD, PhD, and David Ludwig, MD, PhD in their article, “The 010 Dietary Guidelines— The Best Recipe for Health?” published in the October 6th edition of the New England Journal of Medicine. The two leading authorities from Harvard School of Public Health and the Children’s Hospital in Boston chastised the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for pandering to “agro-industrial interests” in the creation of the newly developed 010 Dietary Guidelines, in a closed-door process that relied on “outdated and flawed studies.” The authors point out that USDA bowed to “big food” thereby compromising the health of Americans and particularly those most reliant on government programs. The authors argue that while directing Americans to limit the fat content of their diet is commendable, the Dietary Guidelines promote the increased consumption of carbohydrates without, however, distinguishing between high glycemic (high GI) refined starches and low glycemic (low GI) carbohydrates, which are proven to be more healthful. The USDA missed an opportunity, the authors stated. Notwithstanding the current administration, motivated by First Lady Michelle Obama’s personal campaign against childhood obesity, since the Dietary Guidelines dictate government programs, “the diets of millions of Americans who participate in school-lunch programs remain loaded with refined carbohydrates in an effort to reduce fat as a proportion of total calories.” The authors wrote, “The original Food Guide Pyramid, which encouraged substituting grain products for dietary fat (irrespective of their nutritional quality), may have inadvertently contributed to epidemics of metabolic syndrome and related chronic diseases by increasing refined-starch consumption.” The new MyPlate depiction of Dietary Guidelines “is inherently constrained, most notably by failures to distinguish between whole grains and refined grain products.” The authors rebuke the USDA for not paying proper attention to the Glycemic Index, a now globally recognized and utilized tool that could help address the growing worldwide epidemics of obesity and diabetes. The Glycemic Index is the only scientific measure of how fast and how high a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood sugar—the lower and slower the better. The culprit, refined grains and processed carbohydrates, rank high on the Glycemic Index because they are easily digested and cause a rapid and significant rise of blood sugar and insulin levels. In contrast, low-GI foods, such as the Solo GI Low Glycemic Bar, are formulated and clinically validated to

and/or relabeled dietary supplements that conform to the Agency’s newly announced proposed criteria. “The Agency’s announcement fails to

have a much more gradual and healthy effect on blood sugar, raising it more slowly, which is better for managing weight, sustaining energy and disease prevention. In their article about the newest food guidelines, Doctors Willet and Ludwig New Dietary Guidelines don’t distinguish between boldly assert: “A clearer message would whole grains and refined be that Americans must reduce the congrain products. sumption of red meat, cheese, butter and sugar, but that message would have offended powerful industries.” The agro-food industrial complex has a vested interest to continue the consumption of refined (high glycemic) carbohydrates, notwithstanding their contribution to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, gout and dental caries. For example, clinical studies evidencing the benefits of low glycemic foods, such as a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded study by the author Dr. David Ludwig at the Children’s Hospital in Boston using Solo GI Low Glycemic Nutrition Bars in a study with obese pregnant women evidenced that a low GI diet is better for both the mother and infant than the conventional low fat diet. “Big food” prefers to push processed carbohydrates as they have not incorporated low GI into their product development process. They would compromise their revenue stream if they educated the public to properly choose low-GI over high-GI food choices. If one was cynical, they might believe that big food prefers the status quo perpetuating the viscous spike, crash and crave cycle, caused by high glycemic foods and beverages, notwithstanding their established contribution to these inter-linked epidemics. The USDA is a politically driven body charged with creating and implementing public policy. In doing so, it must carefully weigh the interests of the agriculture industry as well as that of public health. And herein lies the art of compromise, putting millions of people at risk for developing obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease against the interest of the agricultural and food industries. When it comes to public health—and the ability to prevent the onset of these disease states—compromise is not only wrong, it is unsound and unacceptable. Compromising on the side of big business makes the USDA an accomplice endangering the health of millions. We need to raise the bar in the food industry, and teach consumers a very simple, logical practice: it is not about “no carb” or “low carb” it’s about “smart carb” and “slow carb.” The Glycemic Index can be instrumental in helping industry to develop responsible products that become part of the solution instead of compounding the problem. If we are to slow the growth of “Diabesity,” we need to modify the 010 Dietary Guidelines to encourage consumers to consider the blood sugar impact equal to the nutrient content when choosing a food or beverage. —Saul Katz, President, Solo GI Nutrition Inc.

acknowledge, much less justify, the disparate standards applied to dietary supplements and conventional foods. For these reasons, the termination of enforcement discretion is arbitrary and capricious agency action that cannot stand.To address these concerns, CRN requests that FDA continue to exercise enforcement discretion in accordance with the 2003 letters until the effective date of the final rule, or, at a minimum, until the next uniform compliance date for food of January 1, 2014.” FDA’s decision effectively bans the CHD claim on dietary supplements containing free form phytosterols, and according to CRN,“imposes different standards on the dietary supplement and conventional food industries…FDA has an absolute obligation to apply its regulatory standards even-handedly among all similarly situated firms.” CRN believes the agency should extend the time during which it will continue to exercise enforcement discretion under the 2003 letters until the CHD final rule becomes effective. “Extending enforcement discretion under the 2003 letters in this manner would allow companies to make changes to their products in an orderly fashion in a manner that coincides with retailer planogram changes, minimizing

product discontinuations and costly returns. Equally important, companies would be assured that only one reformulation and label change will be required, minimizing costs and marketplace disruptions associated with successive changes.” Additionally, CRN noted,“the Agency has allowed product labeled before the effective date of a label change to be sold through after that date. CRN requests that the Agency clarify that it intends to continue this practice with respect to the lifting of enforcement discretion. Specifically, if the Agency declines to change the February 21, 2012 date, the Agency should clarify that enforcement discretion will extend to products labeled prior to that date, even if shipped after that date. This clarification is essential to enable affected companies to manage inventory in a reasonable manner that avoids costly returns, destruction of printed labels, and market interruptions associated with the inability to launch reformulated/relabeled product in advance of this date.”

Nitric oxide supplements don’t actually provide nitric oxide, which is a gas, but generally contain L-arginine, which can, in some people, increase nitric oxide. Nitric oxide, in turn, potentially increases blood flow to muscles and other organs. ConsumerLab.com reviewed the clinical studies of supplements used to increase nitric oxide in the body. It found no studies demonstrating a significant increase in muscle size or fullness with such supplements. However, supplements with L-arginine may increase intense exercise endurance in older and recreational athletes. In trained athletes the supplements appear to do little. L-arginine supplements may also be helpful in people with cardiovascular conditions such as angina or atherosclerosis. In a separate review, ConsumerLab.com recently selected and tested 10 different lactase supplements and three popular lactose-free milks, including well-known brands like Lactaid and Dairy Ease. The

Embria Health Sciences, Ankeny, IA, has received NSF GMP registration certification following review by an NSF auditor. Once NSF completes the GMP registration certification process, the manufacturer is authorized to use the NSF mark on or in connection with the sale, use or distribution of that product.

testing showed no enzyme activity in one lactase supplement and another with so little activity as to be of questionable value. However, most of the lactase supplements provided levels of enzyme activity known to be beneficial. Each of the lactose-free milks passed testing, having no detectable lactose, although only two provided a significant amount of vitamin D. In terms of cost and value, ConsumerLab.com found that 9000 ALU (acid lactase unit) of lactase—enough to help with a high lactose meal—cost as little as 8 cents or as much as $6.79 depending on the brand.

Pharmachem Invests in Green Energy Kearny, NJ-based Pharmachem has installed a $6 million biomass-to-energy system at its Avoca extraction facility in Merry Hill, NC. The system is capable of consuming 10 tons of biomass per hour and producing 30,000 pounds of steam per hour. Avoca, Inc., relies on steam for processing a variety of ingredients, especially clary sage for the fragrance industry. The company previously relied on three dieselpowered boilers for its steam, but wanted to switch to a more sustainable and costefficient power source. Earlier this year, two biomass boilers were installed, replacing the diesel boilers. The new system allows the company to utilize the biomass byproduct of its facility while also meeting its long-term energy needs. The company said it has diverted about 110,000 cubic yards of material that would otherwise go into a landfill. Additionally, reducing this waste on an annual basis will result in about $1 million in savings.

mation. According to the company, while the previous, recently awarded U.S. patent No. 8,030,348 secured Neptune’s intellectual property on a composition of novel omega 3 phospholipids, which are the main bioactive ingredients in krill oils, this new patent grants Neptune protection on specific cardiovascular health benefits, such as reduction of cholesterol, platelet adhesion and plaque formation when using krill extracts. However, Aker BioMarine, Oslo, Norway, has filed a request for reexamination of all claims in Neptune’s ‘82 patent. This is the second Neptune patent that Aker BioMarine has asked USPTO to reexamine. According to Aker BioMarine, Neptune obtained the ‘82 patent by representing that it was the first to discover the ability of krill oil to lower cholesterol and reduce platelet adhesion and plaque formation. However, Aker claims in its request for reexamination that prior publications described these same uses and benefits of krill oil. Like its earlier request, Aker BioMarine’s request for reexamination of the ‘82 patent asks the USPTO to declare Neptune’s claims to be unpatentable.

ERSP Recommends Changes to TriVita’s Nopalea Ads The Electronic Retailing Self-Regulation Program (ERSP) has recommended that TriVita, Inc., Scottsdale, AZ, modify or discontinue certain claims made in direct-response advertising for Nopalea, a dietary supplement made from cactus fruit juice. ERSP, the electronic direct-response industry’s self-regulatory forum, is administered by the Council of Better Business Bureaus (CBBB) with policy oversight by the National Advertising Review Council (NARC). The marketer’s advertising came to the attention of ERSP pursuant to its ongoing monitoring program. ERSP reviewed broadcast and online advertising for Nopalea and reviewed core performance claims. As support for performance and establishment claims, TriVita submitted several scientific studies on Nopalea’s main ingredient, Opuntia ficus indica (Nopal cactus). While ERSP did not dispute that the studies provided useful information about the primary ingredient in Nopalea, the evidence did not support express claims regarding

Reports Available Continued research into the potential health benefits and disease prevention abilities of functional foods is significantly boosting awareness and usage within the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, according to a new report from Frost & Sullivan titled “Functional Foods in Asia Pacific—Technology Benchmarking and Stakeholder Analysis.” Within Asia Pacific, foods with health benefits have a long history of consumption, with several functional food types forming a staple part of Asian diets. This is now translating into a rising trend of academic research and clinical studies to validate the safety and efficacy of these functional ingredients. While there is tremendous potential for revenue growth, issues related to taste, texture and performance continue to challenge market participants. The absence of procedures to identify and validate relevant benefits or risk factors also threatens market prospects. The view that functional foods prevent rather than cure ailments is further dampening market potential. Functional food manufacturers should standardize identification and validation techniques to help consumers better understand the benefits and risks inherent in their products, according to Frost & Sullivan. They should also undertake research to improve the taste and texture of their products. For further information: www.frost.com

specific health conditions. ERSP recommended the marketer modify or discontinue the performance claims at issue. ERSP noted that there have been no clinical studies on the product and the evidence provided does not support claims that Nopalea will alleviate or eliminate specific health conditions. ERSP recommended the marketer discontinue testimonials describing specific health conditions. Further, ERSP recommended that TriVita add a clear and conspicuous disclosure describing the relationship between TriVita and its“members.” “The fact that some of the consumer testimonials are made by people who receive commission on the sale of the product might materially affect the weight and credibility of the representation as interpreted by consumers and, as such, should be clearly and conspicuously disclosed in the advertising,” ERSP stated. The company, in its marketer’s statement, noted that clinical trials of the product are underway. The company said it “…takes great care to truthfully and accurately advertise its products. Although the Company certainly disagrees with certain conclusions of ERSP, it has and will continue to cooperate with ERSP and make appropriate modifications to its advertising.”

Global sales of natural and organic beauty products are projected to reach $9 billion in 011, according to a new report from U.K.based Organic Monitor.

In its new report, “Global Market for Natural & Organic Personal Care Products,” Organic Monitor predicts revenues will climb to $14 billion in 015. Demand for natural and organic products has spread to every region, however, sales remain concentrated in Europe and North America. Natural and organic products have % share of global personal care product sales. However, in some countries—such as the U.S., Germany and Austria—market share is reaching 10%. The large market share is because of high consumer awareness and extensive distribution of natural and organic products. Competitive stakes are rising as new entrants continue while market growth rates slow. Organic Monitor finds successful brands focus on marketing and distribution to differentiate their products.

Word From Wall Street

It has been a fairly quiet fall from a financial perspective in the nutrition industry, but there are still a few transactions being completed that are worth a little deeper analysis. In particular, they have strategic implications for the various sectors of the industry in which they play.

Significant Acquisitions Recent power plays could be a sign of things to come for the nutrition industry.

The Ingredient Sector In the ingredient space, two reputable companies were acquired—AM Todd and Kelatron. What is unique about both is that they held strong competitive positions in their niches. AM Todd was purchased by WILD Flavors, which has been actively expanding its business beyond flavors and fragrances. Currently, it holds an established position in the food, beverage and supplement industries as an ingredient manufacturer. AM Todd has also crossed over from the food industry to the supplement industry. As background, AM Todd has maintained a leadership position in natural mint oils and extracts since the Civil War. However, its portfolio changed in 1999 when the company acquired East Earth Herb. It has also been very active in China, moving much of its manufacturing into Chinese facilities and investing heavily to upgrade to Western manufacturing standards. WILD is already a global company, so strategically AM Todd was a natural acquisition target. For the rest of the industry, it is another step closer to blending the flavors and botanical extract industries. This trend has quietly been taking place for several years bewww.nutraceuticalsworld.com

cause the manufacturing methods are similar. While much of the botanical industry has been outsourced to China, larger global companies like WILD are well positioned to take botanical extracts to market with their established distribution capabilities. The rationale for the Kelatron acquisition was similar. Innophos supplies minerals and mineral phosphates to the food, supplement and pharmaceutical industries, while Kelatron provides a portfolio of minerals that is largely complementary. Innophos is a much larger company, with $714 million in annual revenues and a history as part of a larger pharmaceutical enterprise. Kelatron has been acquired for about $21 million, but it gains a chelated mineral portfolio and mineral spray drying technology that will allow it to serve its existing customer base better. While you cannot easily point to a trend of mineral companies consolidating, the pharmaceutical space has been eyeing mineral manufacturers for some time. The products represent one of the few nutraceuticals where there is high demand from multiple industries, which means we may see more consolidation in this sector in the future. The Consumer Arena On the consumer side, Starbucks’ acquisition of Evolution Fresh is quite interesting. Starbucks has acquired natural and organic food companies in the past, including Tazo Tea. It has also launched functional foods within its stores in the past, either through internal product development or by working with functional food brands. But not all of these efforts have been successful to date. Nonetheless, Starbucks has not given up on health and wellness.

Evolution also has a fresh fruit and vegetable business that could give Starbucks access to a section of grocery and club stores where it is not already playing. Depending on how successful its juice bar launch is, this could also provide another means of expanding its consumer product business with co-branded products. While significant acquisition activity in

the nutrition industry has slowed in the past few months, these three recent deals may have interesting strategic implications.

Starting next year, Starbucks will launch a chain of juice and health food bars that will leverage Evolution Fresh’s small but growing brand of fresh juices. Evolution was acquired for $30 million, so it is significantly smaller than Starbucks, but it potentially offers Starbucks much more value. For one, Starbucks already has an established consumer retail brand, with Starbucks drinks and coffee being sold in grocery stores nationally. Evolution Fresh juices are primarily sold in the Western U.S. at the moment, but could potentially be placed into Starbucks’ national distribution if they can sort out refrigerated distribution and access to a large enough supply of fresh produce.

during tradeshows. As further evidence of the country’s dedication to the market, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise is the only government partner of U.S.-based Nutrition Capital Network, which supports companies raising capital within the U.S. natural products industry. It takes more, however, than government policy or good intentions to build a market. New Zealand wants to build a strong nutraceutical supply relationship with the North American market because it realizes that innovation and technology are keys to its future economic success and prosperity. But simply understanding what is needed for success and actually doing it are two very separate concepts. In the mid 1990s, the realization dawned on this small South Pacific country that it could indeed build a future knowledge-based economy on smart technologies, such as IT or medical innovation. To maximize its advantage, New Zealand would first need to look to something the country was already expert at— food production and manufacturing. After all, starting with a food-based commodity and subsequently applying high-end, value added science is not the first time this had happened; the global pharmaceutical company GSK started in rural www.nutraceuticalsworld.com

New Zealand as a humble dairy company, drying milk powder in 1904. During the past decade, the New Zealand Government has partnered with research organizations and universities throughout the country and around the world. The result has been the development of new fruits and vegetables, as well as advanced nutritional science resulting in numerous success stories behind many of New Zealand’s commonly consumed foods and beverages. Product Development the ‘Milky Way’ Dairy is a good example of a sector in which New Zealand has been applying innovation. Since the New Zealand dairy industry is a pastoral (grass-fed) and seasonal industry, the entire New Zealand dairy herd of around 4.2 million cows all come into calf at the same time, which means that a large volume of colostrum (first-milk—which is low in fat, high in protein and packed with natural antibodies) can be collected and processed cost effectively within a short period of time. Similarly, lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase, which appear to be higher in pastorally grazed animals, are bioactive proteins extracted from whole milk using ion-exchange technology. This innovation now forms the basis of new technologies for bioactive dairy peptides extraction and isolation, such as those developed by Quantec Ltd. Immune Defence Proteins (IDP) is the company’s blend of highly selective antimicrobial peptides from milk that it discovered is highly selective against specific human pathogens, but not against natural, beneficial microflora. “It’s the perfect anti-microbial agent,”said Dr. Rod Claycomb, CEO of Quantec Ltd. “Just as nature intended it.” Another New Zealand company showing success with a novel dairy ingredient in a pilot trial for sleep management is Somnaceutics (now owned by New Image December 2011

From the Corners of the World

Group). It has identified a novel sleep-inducing peptide from milk, which is only found in 10-15% of the dairy herd. In a self-reported trial of 144 subjects, 88% showed significant improvements in sleep quality, daytime alertness and energy. More Money for the Honey The New Zealand Honey industry has also been the beneficiary of more than a decade of research into the unique health-promoting properties. Much of the pioneering research into the health benefits of its most famous honeys—Manuka honey—came from Professor Molan at Waikato University. A great deal of early research centered on the in vitro analysis of Manuka honey’s antimicrobial effects on H. pylori. In recent years, however, this research has also extended to other pathogens such as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Business that ‘Bears Fruit’ Kiwifruit has a long association with New Zealand. While it is not native to the country, the variety generally grown and eaten as a table fruit around the world (Hayward var.) was developed in New Zealand in 1924. The first commercial exports of kiwifruit from New Zealand occurred in the late 1940s to the U.K., and then to the U.S. in 1957. Today, New Zealand grown kiwifruit is still exported as whole fruit around the world under the Zespri brand. However, since 2010, the New Zealand-based ingredient manufacturer Anagenix Ltd has been marketing the benefits of kiwifruit as an extract to the U.S. for improvements in digestive health and laxation, without the side effects commonly associated with high fiber diets. There are several universities and nutrition-based research groups in New Zealand involved in examining the gut health benefits of kiwifruit. Much of the research has been focused on how kiwifruit promotes the digestion of key nutrients in the diet, such as protein, vitamin C and iron. The latest research on kiwifruit indicates that a unique polysaccharide within it may be a very useful source of pectin/glucomannan for the dietary management of weight loss. Work carried out December 2011

in Scandinavia in 2004 has also demonstrated very interesting cardiovascular benefits for kiwifruit on blood and antiplatelet aggregation (a similar effect but unique action to that of aspirin). Location, Location, Location A potential advantage for New Zealand grown fruits and vegetables is its location in the world. It is well known by climate scientists that New Zealand represents a unique case study into the effects of increased UV radiation when compared to countries of similar latitude in the Northern Hemisphere, such as Germany. In

The New Zealand grown cultivars resulted in fruit with significantly higher total phenolic and anthocyanin levels. In fact, the total phenolics of the New Zealand fruit was shown to be 60% higher than the same cultivar grown in the U.S. And the antioxidant value (measure based on ORAC value) of the Central Otago Fruit was 300% higher when compared to the values found in the fruit from the same U.S.-grown cultivar. More recently it has been shown that the same variety of New Zealand grown Bing sweet cherry had very high natural levels of melatonin, which is something not

fact, measurements of UV radiation in New Zealand and Germany have shown the UV irradiances in New Zealand to be much greater. There are many examples of fruits grown in New Zealand with an exceptional phytonutrient profile. One is the Sweet Cherry (Bing var.), which was studied recently by New Zealand sweet cherry growers seeking to better understand the nutritional value of their crop in an effort to diversify their product offering. This process resulted in the analytical assessment of total phenolics and anthocyanin levels in the cherry. These results were then compared to the results from the same cultivars grown in cherry growing regions of California and Oregon (data tested by UC, Davis). www.nutraceuticalsworld.com

typically found in sweet cherry, and is more associated with tart cherry. Scratching the Surface of Opportunities New Zealand continues to pursue innovation in nutraceutical products and ingredients, so expect to see red-fleshed, anthocyanin based apples and kiwifruit in the future. Other developments will likely focus on bioactive compounds coming from some of the country’s native plants and vegetables. New strains of probiotics, such as the range of novel oral cavity probiotics from BLIS Technologies Ltd are also expected in the future. Stay tuned, as New Zealand will continue to be a leader in novel, scienceNW driven product development. Nutraceuticals World • 31

REVIEW

Industry executives share their perspectives on the past year and the year ahead.

“This year FDA and FTC flexed their enforcement muscles. FDA was particularly active with regard to GMP inspections, spiking and adulteration issues and New Dietary Ingredients (NDIs), while FTC was busy slapping companies for misleading claims. Companies by now should be realizing that if they intend to operate in this marketplace, they must take these agencies very seriously—their future depends on it. “Across the pond, the European claims regulations have raised concerns for the natural products industry. It looks as if the environment will become more stringent for the future and many experts believe innovation will stall and business will falter as a result. “Elsewhere, there are many opportunities knocking with regard to dietary supplements and functional foods, especially in developing markets such as Brazil, Russia, India and China, or the BRIC countries. Blessed with more disposable income, consumers in these regions are turning their attention toward our industry’s products. As regulations catch up to consumer demand, expect a thriving market for these products during the next several years. “Back in the U.S., consumers remain confident that dietary supplements and functional foods represent a partial solution to their healthcare needs. Now they just need a good reason to spend money in other sectors to bring the economy back to life.” —Rebecca Wright, Editor 32 • Nutraceuticals World

“We’ve come off a year of phenomenal Food Policy activity triggered by the significant legislation occurring in late 2010. The major change in the food policy and nutrition landscape emanates from The Healthy Hungry-Free Kids Act, the Food Safety Modernization Act, the proposed USDA nutritious school lunch guidelines, the recently released Dietary Guidelines, mandated menu-labeling, and Wal-Mart’s (and numerous others’) private-public sector challenges to reformulate products. The emphasis is on healthier food access, affordability and expanded choice. Smart industry members are responding. Rarely are the directions for product development so plentiful and prescriptive—new opportunities abound!”—Nancy Childs, Professor of Food Marketing, Saint Joseph’s University “2011 is the year that will be remembered in the dietary supplement industry as the time when FDA got serious about implementing the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) requirements of DSHEA. Companies that thought they were ‘under the radar’ found themselves in the bright lights of form 483’s and Agency Warning Letters. What will most surely follow is increased scrutiny by the insurance underwriters and the plaintiff’s bar as the file of official actions by the agency increases in size and scope. The good news is those companies that take their responsibilities under 21 CFR 111 seriously are going to finally enjoy some pricing power in their work effort in the years ahead.”—Mark LeDoux, Chairman & CEO, Natural Alternatives International, Inc. “This year, the International Diabetes Federation declared diabetes a ‘global societal catastrophe.’ Governments worldwide are currently struggling to meet the cost of diabetes care and high blood sugar is already the fourth largest killer of Americans.

What are you waiting for?”— Rhonda Witwer, Senior Business Development Manager, Nutrition, Corn Products International/National Starch Food Innovation “New regulations, import worries, clinical documentation—work around it! The industry is poised for greatness—functional food and supplement use is at an all time high. Self medication, use of supplements for treatment and the switch from OTC/Rx is accelerating. Minor illnesses are a major attraction, mega health markets are in their second generation, 75% want multi-functional supplements and old nutrients, e.g., potassium, magnesium and protein are new again. Major issues— bioavailability, naturally functional, more contemporary “pill” forms, and the demand for fast-acting/effectiveness—are enormous opportunities as are the new virtually untapped markets, e.g., kids’ health, muscle health/body toning and the truly new conditions of aging.” —Dr. A Elizabeth Sloan, President, Sloan Trends Inc. “2011 continued to welcome considerable trade and consumption growth in developing markets, especially in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) countries. Strong manufacturing and trade performance as well as growing optimism are stimulating consumer interest. “Yet another regulatory hurdle in the U.S. will likely affect the abilities of companies to develop and market new products. The U.S. is caught between being a dynamic, creative market and one that is becoming weighed down by considerable regulatory oversight. To complicate these matters further, reduced funding at a federal level may make enforcement of new rules difficult to achieve.” —Paul Altaffer, Product & Business Development, RFI LLC “China is on the radar of many U.S. and foreign companies looking to expand their global business. However, regulations and market entry difficulties have kept many at bay. Unlike previous years, 2011 has seen some movement by China’s State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) to reform the industry. In fact, the agency released a draft document in the beginning

of August outlining the reduction of allowable product claims from 27 to 18. This represented a move to dispose of claims not being used and/or not scientifically valid. There are also rumors of creating a notification system for certain vitamins and minerals, which would be a step in the right direction. “There are also indications from a variety of players that there are plans to develop the specialty health food store concept in China. As these plans begin to unfold, the industry should see a boost in consumer demand and witness the birth of an appropriate sales channel for natural health products. Also in 2011, the U.S.-China Health Products Association added three new members: DSM, Lonza and Unigen. The association also introduced the industry newsletter, ‘China Updates,’ which covers all facets of China’s overall natural health products industry.‘China Updates’ is free to those that sign up on the association’s website at: www.uschinahpa.org.” —Jeff Crowther, Executive Director, U.S.-China Health Products Association

have made to their overall product promotion. But sometimes it just still seems to be the same old approach. With the advent and popularity of social media marketing, as we move into 2012, it would be good to see manufacturers do more than just post a Facebook or Twitter link on their website, and embrace social media as a real marketing vehicle. It’s amazing how social media can become an integral part of marketing if you invest a little time and energy.”—Sheldon Baker, Partner, Baker Dillon Group

“Uncertainty pervades the global economy, the fiscal policies of our nation, our national politics and the nature of the perception of and regulatory outlook for our industry. We read daily about banks afraid to lend, companies sitting on mounds of cash and consumers hunkering down as their economic and health security are increasingly jeopardized. Optimism, diligence, science, investment, unprecedented cooperation among industry leaders and courage are needed now more than ever before to lead the way to a better appreciated and defensible nutraceuticals industry. Our industry can be a significant job generator if there is a supportive and predictable regulatory environment. During the next year, we will see whom within our industry steps up to the challenge!”—Paul Flowerman, President, PL Thomas

“Now that cGMPs are finally implemented it is time for industry to stop turning a blind eye to fraud. An extraordinary number of raw material suppliers, and their customers, continue to use substandard, mislabeled and even intentionally adulterated ingredients. “The consumers lose in the short-term as they purchase and use supplements without receiving the health benefits desired. But Industry loses in the long-term as consumers turn their backs to supplements as a result. “‘My consumer in this channel is not educated, they don’t know any better, so I can sell them this cheap product with no actives’” is a direct quote from a leading marketing company. Really? Come on industry, let’s clean it up!”—Eric Anderson, vice president of sales and marketing, AkerBioMarine Antarctic U.S.

“I am an optimist and believe in the long-term health and validity of our industry. However, we face challenges from inside and out. Inside, we have to find ways to more efficiently guarantee product safety and quality. We have to be able to assure consumers of fundamental product quality and do so in a timely and cost effective way. We must also respond to repeated challenges about efficacy. This requires investment in science that helps define and substantiate product benefits.”—David Bell, President, Bell Advisory Services

“We’re carefully watching the proposed NDI Guidance. If it passes, the burden on our industry will be extensive, even for minor formula changes. I can’t see FDA managing submissions efficiently. And, I don’t believe NDIs will make supplements safer. Our industry already has an excellent safety record. Take bitter orange, the source of Nutratech’s thermogenic ingredient, Advantra Z. There has been an average of only four adverse events reports citing bitter orange per year since 1969, and none established this ingredient as the cause. We must demonstrate that the proposed NDIs will cost companies and government dearly—yet not enhance consumer safety one iota.”—Bob Green, President, Nutratech, Inc.

“The omega 3 segment of the industry continues to be an exciting one, with development driven by a large body of ongoing science. GOED has specific plans for 2012 to further develop the business, including ‘upgrading’ the U.S. heart health claim to remove the qualifying health claim language, and submitting an Article 14 heart health claim in Europe. “GOED also plans to undertake an Economic Impact Study showing how much the government could save if more people took omega 3s, which is the first step in convincing the U.S. and Canadian government agencies that sit on the DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) Steering Committee to give IOM the funds it needs to research a DRI. “Lastly, while omega 3 awareness is universal in all developed markets, understanding of optimal intake levels and benefits is low, so we also plan to begin an international consumer education plan to expand the knowledge base around omega 3s.”—Ellen Schutt, Communications Director, Global Organization for EPA & DHA Omega-3s (GOED) “The nutritional supplement industry entered 2011 with more focus and direction than it had in years. With cGMP’s firmly in place, AER’s defined and the realization that this industry could weather the current recession, industry took to peering into its crystal ball with intentions of moving forward. That crystal ball quickly turned into a snow globe in July when the long awaited NDI guidance was released by FDA. While eyes remain aimed at the future and innovation is still the desire, the vision is clouded by uncertainty until the blurry climate settles and clarity can once again be realized.

dismal compliance numbers persist, the agency will be forced to react.

In years past marketers in the supplement industry had the luxury of launching numerous products often, especially when an opportunity arose. Some would succeed and others would be dropped—an ac-

ceptable risk when the cost of entry was relatively modest. “Over the past year, however, I’ve noticed companies are beginning to focus their limited resources on a product or a few products that have the potential to make a significant contribution to the bottom line. If this is a real trend, it should lead to increased revenue with fewer SKUs, products with longer lifecycles and other similarities with the pharma and CPG products we have always envied. “Another current issue is the lack of innovation.Traditionally innovation comes from smaller companies, or those with the stomach for risk. With smaller companies being constrained by tighter budgets, I’m seeing the concept of open innovation expanding. It seems larger companies are investing in emerging platform technologies pioneered by start-ups and smaller companies. “Another trend I’ve observed is the increasing challenge of compliance with preventative health products. When times are tough, consumers are less willing to pay for a product with a long-term or assumed benefit. The bottom line is if the consumer does not realize an immediate benefit, scientific substantiation for the product had better possess unquestionable and broadly accepted efficacy.”—Greg Stephens, Founder, Windrose Partners

Crystal Clear SoluBlend Technologies provides the global food and beverage industry with functional

ingredients utilizing an award winning, proprietary technology that converts fat soluble oils such as fish, algae and plant based omega3 fatty acids (DHA, EPA, ALA);

NORTH AMERICAN FUNCTIONAL FOODS & BEVERAGES

CoQ10; resveratrol; fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E, as well as seed and fruit oils, such as chia and cranberry oil, into water soluble functional ingredients at a cost effective dosage. SoluBlend’s patented technology allows each converted ingredient to fully dissolve in an aqueous medium producing clear and transparent products that can be used in a wide range of functional food and beverage consumables. Additionally, the technology has been further developed to reduce the rate of oxidation resulting in a longer shelf-life for functional food and beverages. For the first time ever, healthy ingredients can be placed into clear and transparent beverages, like coffee, teas, juices, carbonated beverages, sports drinks and RTDs as well as foods like children’s gummy and fruit snacks without adversely impacting taste, texture or appearance. GRAS certified, SoluBlend ‘s line of water-soluble ingredients are manufactured in conformity with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) and meets or exceeds all FDA requirements with respect to safety.

“…maternal use of folic acid supplements in early pregnancy was associated with a reduced risk of severe language delay in children at age 3.”

Nutraceuticals Research

Nutraceutical: Calcium Indication: Weight loss Source: Am J Clin Nutr, November 2011;94(5):1163-70. Research: In this study, researchers wanted to determine the effect of doubling habitual calcium intake to the recommended intake from dairy or calcium carbonate on energy balance and purported mechanisms, including fecal fat excretion, macronutrient use and hormone suppression. Twenty-five girls with a mean BMI (in kg/m(2)) of 33 ± 5 and 17 boys with a BMI of 28 ± 5, aged 12-15 years, participated in two 3-week controlled feeding sessions that used a crossover design in random order. In one session, 756 mg Ca/d was consumed; in the other session, an additional 650 mg Ca/d was provided as dairy or calcium carbonate supplements that were matched to the control in macronutrient content. Total energy and macronutrient intakes were controlled and were the same for the 2 sessions for each subject. Primary outcome measures were energy balance, fecal fat excretion, lipid oxidation and postprandial energy expenditure. Results: There were no effects of quantity or source of calcium on energy or fat balance, despite calcium-induced increases in postprandial serum parathyroid hormone suppression. Researchers believe these data lend little evidence to support the proposed mechanisms for the relation between an increase in calcium intake from calcium carbonate or dairy and weight loss or weight maintenance in children.

Nutraceutical: Cocoa Indication: Inflammation Source: Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis, August, 2011;[Epub ahead of print]. Research: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between highpolyphenol intake and reduced incidence of atherosclerosis.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of acute cocoa consumption in different matrices related to the bioavailability of cocoa-polyphenols in NFKB activation and the expression of adhesion molecules (AM). Eighteen healthy volunteers randomly received 3 interventions: 40 grams of cocoa powder with milk (CM), with water (CW) and only milk (M). NF-KB activation in leukocytes and AM (sICAM, sVCAM, E-selectin) were measured before and 6 hours after each intervention. Results: Consumption of CW significantly decreased NF-KB activation compared to baseline and to CM, did not change after CM intervention, and significantly increased after M intervention. sICAM-1 concentrations significantly decreased after 6 hours of CW and CM interventions and E-selectin only decreased after CW intervention. No significant changes were observed in sVCAM-1 concentrations. The anti-inflammatory effect of cocoa intake may depend on the bioavailability of bioactive compounds and may be mediated at least in part by the modulation of NG-kB activation and downstream molecules reinforcing the link between cocoa intake and health. *Download Chocolate monograph through our Monograph Center online!

Nutraceutical: Folic acid Indication: Language delay in children Source: JAMA, October 12, 2011; 306(14):1566-73. Research: The goal of this study was to examine associations between mothers’use of prenatal folic acid supplements and risk of severe language delay in their children at age 3.The prospective observational Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study recruited pregnant women between 1999 and December 2008. Data on children born before 2008 whose mothers returned the 3-year follow-up questionnaire by June 16, 2010, were used. Maternal use of folic acid supplements within the interval from 4 weeks before to 8 weeks after conception was the exposure. Researchers measured children’s language competency at age 3, measured by maternal report on a 6-point ordinal language grammar scale. Children with minimal expressive language (only 1-word or unintelligible utterances) were rated as having severe language delay. Results: Among 38,954 children, 204 (0.5%) had severe language delay. Children whose mothers took no dietary supplements in the specified exposure interval were the reference group (n = 9052 [24%], with severe language delay in 81 children [0.9%]). Among this Norwegian cohort of mothers and children, maternal use of folic acid supplements in early pregnancy was associated with a reduced risk of severe language delay in children at age 3.

DietSpice Ingredia Nutritional has released DietSpice, a functional spice that adds flavor to carb-rich meals while also lowering its caloric impact. When sprinkled on starchy foods, DietSpice reduces the glycemic index. According to the company, one stick of DietSpice provides the recommended intake of StarchLite, a patented, all-natural extract of white bean shown to be a temporary inhibitor of alpha-amylase—the enzyme responsible for starch breakdown into simple sugars. The inhibition of alpha-amylase decreases the digestion and absorption of starch, therefore reducing its caloric impact. For further information: www.ingredia-nutritional.com

POMx POM Wonderful has introduced POMx, an ingredient that can be applied to a wide variety of nutritional products, including dietary supplements and functional foods. POMx is an all-natural, concentrated source of polyphenol antioxidants from Wonderful variety pomegranates.

BioCell Collagen BioCell Technology LLC has rebranded its flagship ingredient BioCell Collagen II to BioCell Collagen in an effort to reflect recent research findings. BioCell Collagen also has a new logo to go along with the rebranding. The original name “BioCell Collagen II”made reference to one of the ingredient’s integral component parts, type II collagen. The designation made sense during the early years of BioCell Collagen, mainly because of the strong association between type II collagen and joint health. However, as more studies 110 • Nutraceuticals World

were conducted on BioCell Collagen, the data repeatedly pointed in one direction, according to the company: BioCell Collagen is more than a joint health ingredient. The single-source, all-natural ingredient contains a naturally existing matrix of hydrolyzed collagen type II, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate, all of which are highly bioavailable. The first human skin study on BioCell Collagen, completed in June 2011, suggested that BioCell Collagen stimulates dermal fibroblasts, which are responsible for skin collagen (primarily collagen types I and III) production.

Nutraceuticals Multiverse A quirky account of what could/may be happening in parallel universes/dimensions.

Location: NOVA-LU Mega Store, grand opening, sector 43.uv.2d2, 1 December 2011. Gil Bender, Senior Field Agent, FADSA (continues to speak with a small cadre of consumers as they walk through consumer health product sections):“Finally, ladies and gentlemen—the crown jewel of Queen Mar’s power tools enables it to detect if a probiotic

Proprietary Puncture: Part III Proprietary compositions and ‘blends’enjoy partial insulation... but what if regulatory agencies and consumers could dereplicate them?

By Anthony Almada

Anthony L. Almada, B.Sc., M.Sc., is the president and CEO of GENr8, Inc., an innovator and marketer of evidence-based performance nutrition products. He has worked in the nutrition industry since 1975 and has abundant experience in product and ingredient innovation, IP, clinical research, and science-driven marketing.

strain or strains found in a finished good is/are: 1) Derived from human biological samples, from other species or from nonmammalian sources; and 2) If the strain or strains have actually been evaluated for safety and efficacy. Ms. Lee, you were quite vociferous in our discussion sections about probiotics. I’d like you to pick a product for Queen Mar to analyze.” Ms. Lee (excitedly): “Thank you, Mr. Bender—so much. I know exactly which probiotic supplement to take us to—the one I have taken and trusted for more than five years. But you didn’t mention if the Queen’s scan included live organism count, or CFUs, also?” Agent Bender:“The Queen does indeed assess‘CFUs’or Colony Forming Units. I didn’t bring that up as it is far less important than the actual strain(s), and numerous clinical studies have shown dead or killed organisms to be almost equally effective to their live counterparts. Is this where we stop, Ms. Lee?” Ms. Lee: “Uh…(puzzled and disturbed by Agent Bender’s last statement) “…yes…YES (as she sees her brand in the refrigerator shelf). Here it is. I swear by ProMYotic. I haven’t been sick for more than two-and-a-half years and I take it www.nutraceuticalsworld.com

twice daily. (She grabs the box of powder, and then receives the qNMaR Scan device from Agent Bender). Ok—let’s see what we have…”(Loud beep, device vibrates.) Agent Bender:“Ms. Lee, before you read the results on the Queen’s display would you please read the front panel of the product box to us? Everyone else—please pick up a ProMYotics jar and examine the front panel as she reads it aloud.” Mr. Lee: (reading aloud)“Each capsule provides three clinically tested strains, at 8.33 billion CFU’s each, for a total of 25 billion live organisms.” Agent Bender: “Thank you, Ms. Lee. Will you now read the scan results, please?” Ms. Lee:“Strain 1: Lactobacillus acidophilus strain 3442g. CFU’s: 5.374 billion. Origin: pig feces. Evidence: no published human studies. Strain 2: Bifidobacterium lactis strain DLS-2. CFU’s: 6.022 billion! Origin: adult feces, Europe. Evidence: four published human studies, two showing no superior outcome relative to placebo for atopic dermatitis in children; one adult study showing superior anti-constipation effect; one adult study showing no reduction in duration or severity of upper respiratory tract infections. Strain 3: Bacillus coagulans strain AB-2. CFU’s: 2.932 billion, with most being in a vegetative, non-sporulating state! Origin: soil, Vietnam. Evidence: no published human studies.”(Ms. Lee’s mouth is agape). Agent Bender:“This has been a very intriguing exercise,team.With probiotics,perhaps the most stealthily packaged goods, with great latitude and laxity in relation to labeling, the consumer can easily be inspired to a product based upon CFUs or a soccer team of different organisms, which very often is biologically/clinically meaningless. Queen Mar can be the friend of consumers and the foe of retailers, NW and marketers. Long live the Queen!” Note: This column is fictional.
