Naturally Splendid (TSXV:NS,FWB:50N,OTCQB:NSPDF) announced a new, plant-based bulk division, BCI (BC Ingredients). Many of the ingredients will be manufactured at POS Bio-Sciences in their BPC Facility located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
As quoted in the press release:
The website for BCI can be found at www.bcingredients.com and will be live on Monday June 1st, 2015
BCI’s specially selected plant-based extracts, oils, and powders provide nutrient dense, rich flavor profiles cultivated from around the world. Combined with NSE’s R&D strategic alliance with POS Bio-sciences, BCI can further refine and formulate these extracts to be integrated into foods, beverages,
cosmeceuticals, livestock feed, pet foods and more.
The strategic launch of BCI by NSE is to capture a new and emerging bioactive ingredient market. Examples of bioactive ingredients are proteins, plant extracts, minerals, vitamins, fibers, and applications can include, but are not limited to, functional foods, beverages, animal nutrition, personal care, and livestock feed. Bioactive ingredients address the growing awareness of consumers wanting to eat functional foods and beverages or personal care items rather than suffer from pill fatigue. According to Markets and Markets, “these ingredients are essential for various health purposes and help to prevent chronic diseases that typically occur due to lack of nutrients in the body. According to the report, the bioactive ingredients market is estimated to grow from $23.8 billion in 2013 to $33.6 billion in 2018 at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2013 to 2018.” This demand can be met and the expectation can be exceeded with BCI’s line-up of high-quality, plant-based, bioactive ingredients.
