CARLSBAD, CA, MAY 31, 2023—CarnoSyn® Brands and parent company Natural Alternatives International, Inc. (“NAI”) (Nasdaq: NAII), are proud to announce that SR CarnoSyn® sustained release beta-alanine has been selected as a finalist in this year’s NutraIngredients-USA Awards in two categories: Ingredient of the Year: Healthy Aging and Ingredient of the Year: Cognitive Function.
The NutraIngredients-USA Awards honors excellence and innovation in ingredients, finished products, companies, people, and initiatives in the nutrition and dietary supplements industry. The Ingredient of the Year category for Healthy Aging celebrates the best the industry has to offer in tailored solutions to remain physically and mentally healthy as we age. The Ingredient of the Year in the Cognitive Function category recognizes the best ingredients dedicated to supporting cognition, memory, alertness, and other cognitive processes. The 2023 NutraIngredients-USA Awards presentation will be a virtual event taking place on Wednesday, July 12, at 11:00 a.m. CT in Chicago.
“The designation of Award Finalist is an honor and a tribute to the many years of rigorous clinical testing and tremendous financial investment in patenting the sustained release formulation,” said Aaron Starr, Vice President, CarnoSyn® Brands. “SR CarnoSyn® beta-alanine is truly a game changer when it comes to healthy aging and cognitive function. Consumers are more focused than ever on improving overall health and seek new solutions to stay healthy and active with vitality. By adding SR CarnoSyn® sustained release tablets to their product portfolio as a turnkey private label or custom formulation, wellness brands can answer consumer demand—with a strong focus on the latest in health science innovation.”
Backed by years of clinical research, SR CarnoSyn® unlocks the many benefits of the antioxidant carnosine to help people get more out of life. As we age, our carnosine levels decrease. SR CarnoSyn® is a patented, sustained release form of beta-alanine that stays in the body longer to enable the synthesis of more carnosine for greater bioavailability within the brain, muscles, and other tissues. SR CarnoSyn® supports the body in five important ways: brain health, heart health, bone health, muscle function, and system immunity—all while limiting the paresthesia normally associated with an efficacious dosage of beta-alanine.
“NAI’s expert team has formulated one of the most science-backed dietary supplements available,” said Dr. Di Tan, Director of Scientific Affairs, CarnoSyn® Brands. “As pioneers in science, NAI goes beyond just following set rules to test extensive parameters and biomarkers; NAI explores what the world of healthy aging and longevity has yet to uncover.”
