CARLSBAD, Calif., April 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural
Alternatives International, Inc. ("NAI") (Nasdaq: NAII), a leading
formulator, manufacturer and marketer of customized nutritional
supplements, today announced the use of SR CarnoSyn® (sustained
release beta-alanine, in a tablet or powder form) has been
determined to be safe through independent scientific procedures,
thus satisfying the technical element of the Generally Recognized
as Safe (GRAS) determination. In addition, because this
safety evaluation was based on generally available and widely
accepted data and information, it also satisfies the so-called
"common knowledge" element of a GRAS determination.
The new GRAS affirmation allows NAI to broaden their product
offerings beyond the sports nutrition space and focus on the food
and beverage industries including medical and other fortified food
products. NAI can now aggressively pursue partnerships with
key players in the healthy aging and food and beverage industries
to provide unique SR CarnoSyn® product offerings to the specialty
food category. SR CarnoSyn® is available exclusively from
NAI.
Mark A. Le Doux, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are very pleased with the
results of the safety evaluation of SR CarnoSyn® by a panel of
independent experts. Over the last several years, NAI has
made strategic investments in the areas of research and
development, intellectual property, regulatory and
commercialization surrounding our plans for current and future SR
CarnoSyn® product offerings. The fact that the panel has
finalized its scientific analysis and concluded that 12 grams of SR
CarnoSyn®, which contains 7 grams of active CarnoSyn® beta-alanine,
was well tolerated in human clinical trials, confirms our belief
such dosage amounts are safe and effective. Satisfying these
critical elements of GRAS determination allows us to continue to
pursue several avenues for SR CarnoSyn® and collaborate with key
partners in some of the fastest growing industries."
