"We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Evonik," said Austin Nichols, president of ChemPoint. "Preventive health and wellness are more relevant than ever. AvailOm's exceptional delivery of omega-3 nutrients, combined with ChemPoint's expertise in specialty ingredient adoption, make for a perfect match."
AvailOm® is an omega-3 lysine complex derived from microbial fermented lysine and sustainable sources of marine fish and algae. With 50% eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) concentration in free fatty acid form, this line of powdered omega-3 ingredients offers higher bioavailability and longer stability compared to traditional products in the market.
"Evonik is excited to expand our partnership with ChemPoint in the United States. Their business model and market reach allow us to better meet the quickly shifting needs of today's market, particularly by leveraging their digital capabilities," says Mohammed Rahman, Head of Americas, Evonik Health Care.
Omega-3 fatty acids are known for various health benefits, including cardiovascular and brain well-being. While most forms of omega-3 supplements are taken in soft gel fish oil capsules, AvailOm's powder form can help solve formulation challenges such as improved oxidation resistance and shelf-life stability, better flow and compressibility, elimination of fish odor reflux, good solubility and proven 5x higher bioavailability than regular omega-3 soft gels.
While Evonik will continue to develop and deliver innovative solutions to the nutritional market, ChemPoint will bring the agility, expertise, and extended reach to improve penetration, service levels, and the overall customer experience for Evonik's omega-3 fatty acids.
