Aker BioMarine
Aker BioMarine is a Norwegian human health and nutrition innovator developing sustainable, marine-based ingredients. By harnessing the natural nutritional power of krill and algae, Oslo-based Aker BioMarine helps address global health challenges – such as omega-3 deficiencies – through science-based nutritional solutions.
Its Human Health Ingredients portfolio includes a natural krill-derived source of omega-3s bound to phospholipids, a high-concentration algae-based DHA solution and a phospholipid-based delivery platform designed to enhance the delivery of nutritional ingredients. The company’s latest innovation is Lysoveta®, the first and only patented LPC ingredient containing EPA and DHA phospholipids and choline, developed to support precision brain nutrition.
AstaReal
AstaReal AB is part of the AstaReal Group owned by Japanese pharmaceutical company Fuji Chemical Industries Co., Ltd. The company uses AstaReal® as its global brand name for natural astaxanthin derived from the freshwater microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. Drawing on over 38 years of research and more than 80 clinical studies, AstaReal is a pioneering, world-leading astaxanthin expert. The company is ISO 9001 and FSSC 22000 certified, and operates in accordance with HACCP principles. Its bulk astaxanthin products also hold Informed Ingredient, Halal, Kosher and Vegan Society certifications.
Chronic inflammation and oxidative damage have been linked to cognitive decline, slower processing speed and age-related memory loss. As an antioxidant able to cross the blood-brain barrier, natural astaxanthin may help protect brain cells and support cognitive function, and healthy brain ageing – with studies reporting potential effects on memory, reaction time and perceived fatigue.
Alzchem Group
Alzchem Group AG is an internationally active specialty chemicals company headquartered in Trostberg, Bavaria. The company is a market leader in many of its business segments, combining long-standing research expertise with innovative solutions for global challenges such as climate change, population growth and increasing life expectancy – with a particular focus on high-quality products for the nutrition and health industry.
One example is Creavitalis®, a high-quality creatine monohydrate made wholly in Germany. Creatine plays an important role in cellular energy metabolism and supports the rapid provision of energy in tissues with high energy demands, including the brain. Creatine is being increasingly studied for its potential benefits for cognitive performance and brain health. Studies indicate that optimal creatine supply, particularly during periods of high mental strain, can support cognitive capacity and function.

Kaneka Nutrients Europe
Kaneka Nutrients Europe, headquartered in Brussels, is a subsidiary of Kaneka Corporation (Japan), the world's leading supplier of Coenzyme Q10 and the exclusive manufacturer of its active form, Ubiquinol. Founded in 1949, Kaneka is the only company to have developed natural yeast fermentation technology for the production of both Coenzyme Q10 and Ubiquinol. Continuous scientific research forms the central foundation of the company's philosophy.
Ubiquinol plays a vital role in supporting brain health and cognitive function. It helps fuel mitochondria, the cell's energy powerhouses, which are essential for meeting the brain's high energy demands. As a fat-soluble antioxidant, Ubiquinol helps protect nerve cells from oxidative stress, a key factor associated with cognitive decline. Research suggests that Ubiquinol may support healthy brain ageing and neurological function, and even provide beneficial effects in the early stages of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
