Betanat, Lyconat OKd by TGA

VISTA, Calif.B&D Nutritional Ingredients Inc. announced Vitatenes Betanat® natural beta-carotene and Lyconat® natural lycopene were accepted to the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). Having met the standards of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), Vitatenes products were registered as proprietary ingredients. Betanat and Lyconat are natural colorants that can be used as food additives, and can serve as antioxidants in dietary supplement applications.

With these registrations, our customers will find it much easier to use Vitatene materials in products destined for retail in Australia and New Zealand, said Bill Van Dyke, president of B&D Nutritional Ingredients, the exclusive U.S. distributor for Betanat and Lyconat. Additionally, we hope our customers will recognize that the quality and safety information now banked for these ingredients will make them relatively simple to certify for GMP compliance.
