Danish biotech company, Asiros, and leading UK distributor Cornelius have joined forces to supply two premium berry-derived nutritional supplements to the UK healthy foods market.

MitoActive and BerryShield can be used to create healthy, phyto-nutrient (or polyphenol)-filled drinks or added to food products. Both have strong scientific documentation and product profiling to guarantee the superior value compared to standard berry-products.

MitoActive is a special concentrate of scientifically selected species of red and black-currants containing high levels of Ribetril A, a unique bioactive polyphenol-alkaloid was patented by Asiros. It provides an energy boost to consumers and can be taken as a concentrated shot or mixed with water to create a longer drink.

BerryShield is a range of berry-powders, which can be used in beverages and solid food, as well as health supplements.

Per Rehne, Cornelius director for health and nutrition Europe, said: “Asiros is an ideal partner for us to work with in this sector, offering a premium range of products which we can supply to customers.

“MitoActive and BerryShield are a perfect fit to our nutritional product range and will support our strong expansion in this area. Cornelius is the main supplier of value added products in the food and supplement industries in the UK and we are delighted to be able to offer these products to our customers.”
