Health Canada has approved the Neumentix™ Phenolic Complex K110-42, a spearmint extract manufactured by ingredients company Kemin. The Neumentix™ Phenolic Complex K110-42 contains proprietary phenolic complex that can support working memory, sustained attention and cognitive function, bringing more focus during the day and letting consumers sleep soundly at night.

The antioxidant polyphenols promote new neuron growth and improve ability to learn and manage information. Adding in physical health benefits, this new ingredient boosts overall brain and holistic health.

The Neumentix™ Phenolic Complex K110-42 is derived from non-GMO lines of spearmint that incorporate traditional plant breeding methods.

“We are thrilled to announce the approval of Neumentix for use in the Canadian market,” said Penny Woods, Marketing Director, Kemin Human Nutrition and Health. “The application process for Health Canada involves an extensive review of the efficacy, safety and quality of ingredients. Gaining this approval is a significant milestone that will enable our Canadian customers to have their finished product claims more easily approved when formulated with a full dose of Neumentix and reference to the NPN.”
