Blue California, an ingredient manufacturer in Southern California, announced its introduction of micro-encapsulated phytosterols 40%, in powder form, for water-soluble applications. Phytosterols (also called plant sterols) are a group of steroid alcohol phytochemicals naturally occurring in plants. They are white powders with mild, characteristic odor, normally insoluble in water and soluble in alcohols. They have many applications as food additives, and in medicine and cosmetics. Blue California’s micro-encapsulation technology was used in the development of this new water-soluble form of phytoestrogens and phytosterols creating a wide array of opportunities for its customers in the beverage, dietary supplement and food industries. Phytosterols are widely found in the plant kingdom and studies have consistently shown that plant sterols can help reduce cholesterol levels. A 2004 study from Washington University in St. Louis found phytosterols effectively reduce LDL-cholesterol when given as supplements, and the smaller amounts in natural foods also appear to be important. The study also found that since phytosterols have very low systemic absorption and are already present in healthy diets, increasing the intake of phytosterols may be a practical way to reduce coronary heart disease with minimum risk. Contraindications for phytosterol supplementation include those with the rare genetic disorders sitosterolemia and cerebrotendinotic xanthomatosis and pregnant and nursing women. Cecilia McCollum, Blue California’s Executive Vice President states, “Blue California is proud to offer this new form of water-soluble phyterols to the beverage, food and dietary supplement industries. The excellent water-solubility of our micro-encapsulated phytosterols is expected to improve the absorption of these important plant sterols making dietary supplementation safe and efficacious”. Vegetable consumption in the U.S. is not ideal for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, especially since these important plant sterols are difficult to absorb, thus exacerbating the dietary deficiency. “A complete bioavailability study to determine the degree of absorption and the effect on cholesterol from dietary supplementation with this new ingredient is being considered at this time,” added McCollum.

Blue California, an ingredient manufacturer in Southern California, has announced a new brand name for its highly purified ginseng extract. This premier ingredient, which meets the strict requirements of the Japanese market and the European Drug Master File, is now being offered as PanaxPure. PanaxPure is a new trademark for the same extract that Blue California produced in 2005 and 2006. Ginseng comes from the genus Panax and the new PanaxPure name reflects the true nature of the root and its pure, pesticide-free features. This ginseng extract is Kosher-certified and non-GMO.

Green tea extract, 2009
Blue California, a manufacturer of highly purified botanical extracts, including several forms of Green Tea Extract, is now offering purified Green Tea Extract standardized to 95% EGCG at a very low prices without compromising quality. The low cost of this superb ingredient will make it available for use in more products and can reach more consumers for the greater benefit of all. EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) is the most abundant and perhaps most important catechin found in green tea. Catechins are polyphenolic antioxidant plant metabolites and belong in the flavonoid family. Scientific studies suggest that green tea EGCG can effectively be used in dietary supplements for weight management and cardiovascular health. Green tea has been used in Asia for thousands of years for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and infection and, more recently, green tea has been recognized as a powerful antioxidant that can help control free radicals in the body that can cause premature aging and may be responsible for uncontrolled cell growth. The purity and safety of these natural ingredients are of greater importance to the consumers today, the educated consumer now looks for high quality products that contain ingredients of greater purity such as Green Tea Extract 95% EGCG. Blue California has a proven record in the development and production of natural ingredients of the highest purity.
