01 Aug 2023 --- Debbie Thomas, marketing manager at Nektium, shares the company’s strifes in developing more sustainable sources of the plant Rhodiola rosea, the key nutritional ingredient in Nektium’s Rhodiolife. In its cultivation project, the company produces the plant in its natural habitat, maintaining the same phytochemical profile and active compounds as wild-collected sources, which are tested through macroscopic and HPLC analysis and DNA barcoding.
27 Jul 2021 --- Failing to invest in R&D is a risk to company innovation, according to Julia Wiebe, chief scientific officer at Nektium. She shares the developments of her company’s Zynamite ingredient and reveals challenges Nektium faced in the R&D process. Uncertainty is always a present factor in R&D, she highlights, but it’s also the most creative process. It’s important to “fail early and fail cheap.”

Nektium has launched a caffeine alternative ingredient, Zynamite, which the company says provides the benefits, but not the drawbacks, of caffeine. NutritionInsight spoke with Dr. Nigel Giericke, Nektium’s Scientific Director, about the market potential for such energy ingredients.
