GlucosaGreen OK in Ireland

HONG KONG—Hygieia Health Co. announced the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) determined Hygieia’s GlucosaGreen® glucosamine is substantially equivalent to current glucosamine on the market, indicating the ingredient is safe in composition, nutritional value, metabolism, intended use and undesirable substance levels. FSAI determines substantial equivalency by comparing product details such as material source and process, which in this case compared the GlucosaGreen line of vegetarian and vegan glucosamine salts to standard glucosamine ingredients.

“We’re very excited about this milestone for our GlucosaGreen product,” said David Corcoran, marketing manager, Hygieia. “Gaining this equivalency not only proves product safety, it provides a significant market edge, expanding applications as well as opportunities. What’s more, it sets precedence for further penetration throughout the EU food supplement markets.”
