BGG will present new concepts at Vitafoods 2026 (Barcelona, May 5-7) to show how its natural ingredients can provide science-backed benefits including weight loss, cognitive performance, and sleep support.
ApplePhenon® is an apple extract rich in procyanidins that delivers proven results for weight loss and metabolic health.[1] [2] Visitors will be able to sample ApplePhenon® in beverages and stick packs, while it is also suitable for use in supplements, dairy products, snacks, and more.
In addition, BGG is offering gummy concepts containing TheraPrimE® for memory, sleep, and overall wellness.
TheraPrimE® is a tocotrienol, a powerful member of the vitamin E family, and is available in oil and water-dispersible powder formats. A recent study showed it can deliver improvements to memory and significantly reduce sleep disorders and associated issues such as fatigue, decreased attention span, and mood swings.[3]
AstaZine® astaxanthin, meanwhile, is a potent natural antioxidant from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae with a wide range of proven health benefits. It is suitable for use in products including supplements, gummies, and beverages.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study also showed that a combination of TheraPrimE® and AstaZine® led to significant improvements in composite memory and verbal memory.[4]
BGG will be available throughout the show to discuss the ingredients and the wide-ranging formulation possibilities. Lixin Ding, BGG Americas’ Chief Scientific Officer, will also provide detailed insights into the scientific research in a presentation at the Nutraceuticals Showcase Theatre at 1.30pm on Tuesday, May 5.
Tamara Higgins, BGG’s Managing Director for Americas and Head of Western Regional Sales, said: “Consumers are looking for convenient and clinically supported solutions that help them look and feel great – and our Dream Team can provide the perfect match. ApplePhenon®, TheraPrimE®, and AstaZine® are natural, science-backed, versatile ingredients that support total body and mind wellness.”
