Biotivia Announces Vinatrol and Augmentrol, the First Standardized Resveratrol-Based Functional Food Additives

Biotivia has completed development of two new functional food additives. The first we call Vinatrol and is designed to be added to alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, dairy products, and other soft foods during the final stage of processing. The companion product, Augmentrol, is formulated to be used in solid foods such as health bars, snack foods, cereals, and other processed and manufactured foods. Both Vinatrol and Augmentrol consist of a patent pending stable bioavailability-enhanced resveratrol complex whose function is to greatly improve the nutritional value of the products to which they are added.  In addition to its specially formulated resveratrol, Biotivia can easily create custom nutripacks containing super fruit extracts such as Acai, Mangosteen, Green Tea, Pomegranate, Blueberry, Elderberry, and many other antioxidants and phytonutrients. Biotivia professionals will work closely with individual manufacturers to tailor Augmentrol and Vinatrol to meet a wide range of unique requirements.

The advantages of augmenting consumables with resveratrol and other all-natural, high-potency, advanced nutrients are literally too extensive to enumerate. Since the landmark study by Dr. Sinclair of Harvard was published in the journal Nature thousands of news articles have enlightened the public as to the tremendous range of potential health benefits of resveratrol and other polyphenols. By combining Biotivia's Bio-Enhanced purified resveratrol with complementary ingredients such as Green Tea and fruit extracts the nutritional value of even exceptionally healthy natural foods and beverages is dramatically improved. There is no better way to add value and customer appeal to your food or beverage. In many cases our additive packs can also eliminate the need for chemical or natural preservatives.

The challenges of developing a stable, soluble, resveratrol-based food additive were almost as numerous as the health benefits of resveratrol itself.  Biotivia retained one of the world's top food scientists to manage this project and invested thousands of hours of research and development resources into the creation of Vinatrol and Augmentrol.

Resveratrol in its natural state, such as that contained in resveratrol supplements, is a very low bioavailability nutrient and is only soluble in oil and certain solvents. Therefore simply adding resveratrol powder to a food or beverage will not achieve significant health benefits and may degrade the taste, aroma and texture of the food. A second impediment is that the extracts of antioxidant and polyphenol rich fruits are naturally very bitter tasting.

Biotivia is proud to announce its success in overcoming these challenges. Biotivia scientists have developed an elegant chemical-free, natural solution which preserves the integrity of the extracts while improving their absorbability and solubility in water and edible oils.  Vinatrol and Augmentrol are tasteless, odorless, water and oil solube all-natural additives which contains no synthetic or GMO ingredients and are available in both liquid and powder forms.
