Mumbai, India and Morristown, N.J., February 16, 2021 – Enovate Biolife (Enovate) and OmniActive Health Technologies (OmniActive) announced today that enXtra®*, a proprietary extract of Alpinia galanga, has been granted a US patent for the patent application publication no. US20180221430 A1 based on the granted claims on method of use of Alpinia galanga for improved cognitive performance.
This method of use patent covers a formulation of Alpinia galanga for improvement of cognitive performance such as mental alertness and increased attention that has previously been demonstrated in five clinical studies.
“While caffeine continues to lead in the nootropic space because of its experiential benefits, consumers are still constantly looking for alternatives. Clinically backed enXtra® provides a novel, natural caffeine alternative for increased alertness and sustained attention and focus. We are thrilled that this patent will allow our customers to promote these cognitive health claims for Alpinia galanga,” says Kimberly Smith, Chief Marketing Officer at OmniActive Health Technologies.
enXtra® was also recently certified by Informed Ingredient, a Quality Assurance certification for dietary supplement manufacturing facilities, which ensures that ingredients have been tested for banned substances and comply with WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) guidelines. The certification also guarantees that ingredients are manufactured to high quality standards.
“The patent and the Informed Ingredient certification are important steps in further building enXtra®’s unique position in the market,” says Amol Pathak, Director of Business & Strategy at Enovate Biolife.
