1 May 2019

Belgian rare medicinal plant producer Botalys has become the reference supplier of ginseng raw material for Nutrisan and Terry Naturally Vitamins.

These new orders concern the sale of Botalys’ flagship ingredient, hydroponic ginseng HRG80, which according to the company marks a great acknowledgement for the ingredient launched only a year ago and that stands out from its competitors thanks to its superior quality.

Nutrisan will launch a new neutraceuticals food supplement early in May. The new product, commercialised under the name “FocuSan”, contains a complex of B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12) and mostly Botalys’ HRG80 ginseng. Focusan is designed to help improve resistance against stress at work and overcome daily challenges. It will be available in pharmacies and parapharmacies without prescription.

“Nutrisan has always been an advocate of using herbal ingredients with the most natural profile. This innovative technology of Botalys combines exactly what Nutrisan stands for: highest purity and efficacy respecting the natural phytomatrix. On top, we are proud to embrace Belgian technology that offers our customers unique strengths from nature,” said Wesley Guerra, Chief Innovation Officer at Nutrisan.

Terry Naturally, part of the Europharnma Group, has chosen Botalys’ ginseng to launch new products in the US market. According to Botalys, Europharma selected HRG80 over other ginseng sources, after a long time searching for premium and pure ginseng. Botalys’ ginseng will feature in two new Terry Naturally products to be launched later in 2019 that will be distributed exclusively across America and Canada mainly through independent pharmacies.

Paul-Evence Coppée, co-CEO of Botalys, said: “HRG80 ginseng powder was developed in the aim of proposing the world’s best ginseng. To reach this goal, Botalys has spent six years researching and developing the product, allowing its teams to develop a worldwide unique process of vertical hydroponics that allows cultivating ginseng in entirely controlled conditions and in the greatest respect for the environment. This innovative process allows obtaining an ultra-pure ginseng powder boasting an exceptional and constant quality that we are today proud to offer to reference clients who share the same will of offering well-being through plants.”

According to the company, its ginseng has a seven times greater concentration of rare ginsenosides, and bioavalaibility of these is said to be 17 times higher.
