BioActor and Nestlé Health Science to collaborate on nutritional products containing Bonolive®
Maastricht, Netherlands/Vevey, Switzerland, 4 may 2015 – Today BioActor announced that it has engaged in a collaboration with Nestlé Health Science on the development of nutritional products containing Bonolive®.
Bonolive® is a health ingredient based on olive polyphenols, targeting bone health. Bonolive® has shown to stimulate osteoblast – bone producing cell – activity in a 12 months clinical study. The results of this study were recently published in the journal of nutrition, health & aging. Bonolive® has further shown in a pharmacokinetics study to have excellent bioavailability and to improve serum antioxidant status in healthy subjects.
“We are excited to work together with Nestlé Health Science,” says Hans van der Saag, managing director and founder of BioActor. “This collaboration first of all aims to strengthen scientific evidence for the benefits of Bonolive®. With our combined capabilities I am confident that we will develop novel applications addressing well defined nutritional requirements, based on the newest scientific insights.”
Financial and other terms of the collaboration are not disclosed.
