Solabia-BioActor received а no objections letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding their Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) application for its women’s health ingredient Bonolive®. The FDA approves Bonolive® for inclusion in Dietary Supplements, Beverages and Functional Foods. 

For access to the FDA “no objection letter” please follow this link.

GRAS is a designation created by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. It is a testament to the safety of a food ingredient or additive based on adequate evidence. Bonolive® had already shown a clean safety profile in published tox studies and a GRAS panel had concluded that Bonolive® should be considered GRAS.

Bonolive® is an oestrogen-free, patented ingredient, standardised for high levels of oleuropein. This all-natural ingredient is clinically validated in post-menopausal women to support women’s health during post-menopause. Human intervention studies showed that Bonolive® plays a key role in:

  • stimulating bone-building cells (osteoblasts) and stabilising bone mineral density
  • improving blood lipid profile
  • reducing joint pain and improving mobility.

A recent consumer study in menopausal women also showed that Bonolive® helps alleviating menopause related symptoms related to mood and skin appearance. Interestingly, a pharmacokinetics study showed that Bonolive® has an enhanced bioavailability in post-menopausal women.

Bonolive® targets women in peri- and post menopause that are looking for a safe, natural and oestrogen-free solution to the challenges of menopause. It is a true innovation as the only clinically evaluated olive leaf extract for women’s health. This ingredient is now also available in a convenient RTD format for everyday easy intake.
