PHARMANUTRA GROUP: THREE NEW PATENTS RELEASED

PharmaNutra S.p.A. has been granted the patent for cetylated fatty acids (CFA) on Russian territory

and its subsidiary Alesco S.r.l. two new patents in Italy.

Pisa, 25 November 2021 - PharmaNutra S.p.A.(MTA; Ticket PHN), a group of companies specialising in the development, production and distribution of raw materials (active ingredients) for the pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals market, has been granted two new patents by the Italian Patents & Trademarks Office for its subsidiary Alesco S.r.l. and one new patent by the Russian Federal Agency for Intellectual Property for PharmaNutra S.p.A.

The first Italian patent (no. 102019000022989) is for Sucrosomial® Chromium (UltraChrome™), a brand new functional ingredient. Chromium is a microelement that regulates energy metabolism and helps maintaining the normal glucose levels in blood. The application of Sucrosomial® Technology guarantees improved tolerability and absorption, allowing its use in solutions for blood cholesterol and glucose control.

The second patent issued to Alesco S.r.l. (no. 102019000023016) is for the production, composition and use of new mineral-polysaccharide combinations for mineral supplements. This represents a further upgrade of Sucrosomial® Technology, which enables development of new solutions and technologies to increase the absorption and tolerability of nutrients.

"Scientific research has always been the driving force in PharmaNutra and these three new patents confirm this attitude," said Group Chairman Andrea Lacorte. "These important upgrades of Sucrosomial® Technology offer significant potential and strong medium/long-term development prospects. I'm sure the market will acknowledge the value of these new assets, developed thanks to our Scientific Department and our inclination toward innovation."

Moreover, PharmaNutra has obtained from the Russian Federal Agency for Intellectual Property a patent for the production and use of Cetylated Fatty Acids (CFA), the functional ingredient at the base of all Cetilar® products. After India and China, the Russian Federation now joins the list, further broadening and consolidating the Group's international development.
