S. Black, of Hertford in the UK, has been appointed as the UK and Ireland distributor for biotech company Gnosis.

The Italian organisation has r&d laboratories in Desio, Milan; and a pharmaceutical GMP-approved manufacturing plant in San Antonino, Bellinzona, Switzerland - Gnosis BioResearch - where all operations including downstream processes have been carried out.

S. Black will be supporting Gnosis in the area of natural ingredients used primarily in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, veterinary and personal care markets.

Gnosis' proprietary product range is backed up by robust clinical studies and efficacy data. Key products include:

  • HI-QTEN - a micro-emulsion system that combats the problems of poor absorption and a scarce bioavailability of CoQ10. The micro-porous carrier links with water and releases the CoQ10 droplets, which have microemulsified, in the GI-tracts, guaranteeing a bioavailability three times higher than the normal CoQ10.
  • EXTRAFOLATE (L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid, calcium salt) Studies show that 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid is more bio-available than folic acid and importantly, it doesn't interfere with vitamin B12 detection. The folic acid is transformed in L-5-MTHF in the body, and therefore L-5-MTHF represents the available form of folates in the body.
  • VITAMK7 (vitamin K2 as MK7) Natural Vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (Vitamin K2 mk7) is the most bio-available form of natural vitamin K2 and has been shown to be beneficial in the absorption of calcium into the bones.
