LAS VEGAS, Aug. 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Healthy Extracts Inc. (OTCQB: HYEX) has signed an exclusive U.S. and Canada licensing and manufacturing agreement with Gelteq Pty Ltd, a global leader in ingestible gel technology, to develop and manufacture an advanced oral delivery system for its plant-based, clinically proven, heart, immune and brain health formulations.

Healthy Extracts has secured the exclusive rights to use Gelteq’s patented gelification process in the U.S. and Canada to create and sell natural ingestible gels that contain Citrus Bergamot or Healthy Extracts’ Ultimate Brain Nutrients™ ingredients. Among the many benefits, the new gel pack format will make Healthy Extracts products easier and more convenient to consume.

Citrus Bergamot has been traditionally taken in tablet form which has several drawbacks. Tablets require a liquid to facilitate swallowing or prevent choking (which still may occur), and proper digestion and absorption can sometimes be challenging. The liquid extract form of Bergamot is less preferred due to its unpleasant taste.

The proprietary ingredients used in the Ultimate Brain Nutrients product line are typically available in powder form that require mixing with a liquid in a separate container, which can be messy and inconvenient for today’s on-the-go lifestyles. However, a single-serving, bio-degradable Healthy Extracts gel pack containing these health-promoting formulations can be easily consumed anytime, anywhere—no liquid or mixing required.

Gelteq’s revolutionary oral delivery technology is superior to pills, tablets, powders and other delivery methods in terms of greater bioavailability, targeted release times and pleasant taste, while also reducing the risk of choking.

“Healthy Extracts has introduced industry game changers with its clinically proven formulas for improving heart, brain and immune health,” noted Gelteq CEO, Nathan Givoni. “Our gel technology is taking these amazing products a major step further by making them easier to consume, especially for those with active lifestyles or who simply want the performance benefits of a Gelteq gel. It is a perfect example of how our technology can take an existing product and extend and improve its application through gelification.”

Healthy Extracts plans to first launch a gel pack version of its patent-protected Fuel4Thought® (F4T®) formulation. F4T comprises the naturally-derived, sugar- and caffeine-free nootropic ingredients used in the company’s recently introduced UBN™ ACTIVATE™. Clinical studies have shown that these ingredients increase the activation of areas in the brain responsible for attention, memory, mood and quick reaction times by as much as 46%.

Healthy Extracts plans to next introduce heart and immune health gel packs that exclusively feature the world’s strongest Citrus Bergamot SuperFruit™ extract. Backed by more than 17 published clinical trials, Citrus Bergamot SuperFruit has been shown to naturally reduce cholesterol, improve heart health, support immune response, and address metabolic syndrome.

Healthy Extracts has submitted an initial order for 500,000 UBN ACTIVATE gel packs which will be produced at a Gelteq manufacturing facility in the U.S. By the end of the third quarter, the company plans to begin distribution of this new product format across the U.S. and Canada through multiple market channels, including retail, wholesale, and direct-to-consumer. The launch of Citrus Bergamot SuperFruit gel packs are expected to soon follow.

“Like no other gelification process available today, Gelteq’s gel technology creates a revolutionary new, super-convenient way to consume our products, along with added benefits that include easier digestion and absorption,” commented Healthy Extracts president, Duke Pitts. “It also opens up a whole new world of flavor varieties given how easily and cost-effectively they can be applied with Gelteq gels.”

Healthy Extracts will continue to offer its products in tablet and powder form, but expects the new gel-based format will greatly enhance customer experience while lowering the manufacturing costs associated with these traditional formats.

“Given how Gelteq gels make nutritional supplements so much easier and more enjoyable to consume, we see our exclusive access to this patented technology creating many higher-margin, multi-million-dollar market opportunities as well as additional competitive advantages,” added Pitts. “This gel technology aligns with our commitment to delivering clinically proven, sustainable health solutions, as we look to further monetize our growing IP and brand portfolio.”

ACTIVATE addresses the fast-growing brain health supplement market, which is expected to grow at an 8% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach $13.4 billion by 2028. It also targets the faster growing niche market for nootropic substances designed to improve memory, creativity and motivation. The nootropics market totaled $2.4 billion last year, and is projected to hit $6.3 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of nearly 13%.

Citrus Bergamot SuperFruit taps the growing market for natural heart health supplements, which is expected to hit $24.8 billion by 2027, growing at a nearly 6% CAGR.
