Bioenergy Life Science has signed an agreement with Lithos Ingredients, which grants Lithos the exclusive rights to distribute the Bioenergy Ribose in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Bioenergy Ribose is a patented 5-carbon monosaccharide ingredient for food and beverage applications, which can help muscles regenerate lost energy, and can help to reduce muscle soreness.
The ingredient received the novel food authorisation certification from the European Food and Safety Authority (EFSA) in 2019, and Bioenergy Life Science claims that the ingredient works by regulating the body’s natural energy synthesis.
As a result of the new distribution agreement, companies in the Benelux region will have access to the Ribose ingredient through Lithos’s distribution network.
Bioenergy Life Science’s vice-president of sales, Marianne McDonagh, said: “We are thrilled to partner with the enthusiastic Lithos Ingredients team because of their commitment, knowledge and talent.”
Lithos Ingredients business unit manager Bea Boorsma, added: “We are excited to add Bioenergy Ribose to our portfolio of premium, science-based, branded natural ingredients that support good health.
“Our partners are thoroughly screened to confirm their and their ingredients’ quality, reliability and safety. Bioenergy Ribose is exactly the type of ingredient our customers desire.”
