24 Apr 2024 --- Nektium will unveil its patent-pending Aframomum melegueta spice extract, Vanizem, at the upcoming global nutraceutical trade fair, Vitafoods Europe (May 14–16). A small dose of the sustainably sourced ingredient has been shown to reduce anxiety and elevate mood within days. Vanizem offers a distinct mechanism for stress management by modulating receptors and enzymes within the endocannabinoid system. This neuromodulatory system partially regulates cognitive and emotional processes in the central nervous system, such as behavior, mood and neurologic disorders.
