Solabia-BioActor announces the start of a collaboration with The Quadram Institute to assess the bioavailability and kinetics of Brainberry®
Solabia-BioActor announces the start of a collaboration with The Quadram Institute to assess the bioavailability and kinetics of Brainberry®, Solabia-BioActor’s proprietary Aronia melanocarpa extract.
Solabia-BioActor has expertise and experience in developing innovative active ingredients, extracted from plants (botanicals) with great potential to support human health in terms of cognitive support, healthy aging and gut health enhancement.
The Quadram Institute is a premier research organization, based at the Norwich Research Park in the United Kingdom. It is home to researchers and clinicians that work together to develop world-class health, microbiome and food science.
Solabia-BioActor’s Senior Scientist Sanne Ahles takes the lead on this collaboration together with Dr. Paul Kroon, a principal investigator at The Quadram Institute. Dr. Kroon is the leader of the Polyphenols and Health Group and his research focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which dietary polyphenols are absorbed and exert health benefits.
The objective of this project is to study the bioavailability and kinetics of Brainberry®, a proprietary aronia melanocarpa extract, in human volunteers. BioActor will carry-out the human intervention study and the Quadram Institute will identify and quantify a broad range of metabolites in a variety of samples obtained in the study.
Sanne Ahles, Senior Scientist at Solabia-BioActor comments:
“The bioavailability of Brainberry® has not been researched until this point. This collaboration with the Quadram Institute will allow us to broaden our knowledge regarding the anthocyanin metabolism and shed light on any possible differences between its steady-state bioavailability in young and older adults.”
