LAS PALMAS, Spain, April 14, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Nektium, a leading research-based branded botanical ingredient manufacturer

based in Spain, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark

Office has issued the company with a notice of allowance for U.S. Patent

10,537,604 Compositions for Enhancing Brain Activity. This patent is part of

the intellectual property portfolio supporting NEKTIUM's innovative ingredient

Zynamite(R), a caffeine-free botanical ingredient for mental and physical

energy. Zynamite(R) is a sustainable, proprietary standardized extract of

leaves of a selection of Mangifera indica, the mango tree.

Zynamite(R) was first launched at Vitafoods in Geneva and HI Japan in Tokyo in

2018 and at Supply Side West in the USA in 2019. The caffeine-free and

doping-free nootropic activities of Zynamite(R) have been appearing in diverse

finished product innovations including popular smart supplements and egaming

formulations in Japan.

Recognising the fundamental importance of the mind in sports performance,

Nektium applied the brain-activating activities of Zynamite(R) to sports

formulations which have been subjected to four double blind, randomised

controlled clinical trials. The positive results of these sports performance

and recovery studies have been published in four peer-reviewed papers.

"The currency of the nutraceutical ingredient industry is scientific evidence

obtained from double blind, randomised controlled clinical studies conducted by

reputable academic departments and CRO's, and published in leading

peer-reviewed journals. Nektium has made a major investment in the clinical

research backing Zynamite(R) and continues to invest in ongoing clinical

studies," says Dr. Nigel Gericke, Nektium's Director of Science. "Our intention

is to keep building the clinical research base and intellectual property

supporting Zynamite(R) as a premium branded ingredient."

The nutraceutical industry has already recognized the clinical research and

innovation behind Zynamite(R) awarding the ingredient five awards in the last

two years: the Nutraingredients Award for sports ingredient of the year in

2018, the Nutraingredients Award for research in 2019, the Frost & Sullivan

Award for innovation in 2019, and the European Specialised Sports Nutrition

Awards for the 2019 best 'free from' ingredient, and the 2019 runner up award

for game changer ingredient of the year.
