Nutraceuticals Company Relocates to Southwest VA
Axon Nutritionals Now
Based in the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 14, 2008
BLACKSBURG, VA—Axon Nutritionals, Inc., a spin-off nutraceuticals company
from privately held nutritional and pharmaceutical companies, has moved its
operations to southwest Virginia. Named after axons, the primary nerve transmission lines of
the central nervous system, Axon Nutritionals is situated in the Virginia Tech
Corporate Research Center, where it serves academics, small businesses,
and ultimately the nutritional needs of baby boomers interested in
condition-specific supplements that may improve their health and quality of
life.
A combination of the words nutrition and pharmaceutical, the term
“nutraceuticals” refers to dietary supplements or fortified foods and beverages
that offer a potential medical-health benefit. The idea behind the use of
nutraceuticals is that certain bioactive compounds have positive benefits on the
mind and body.
Axon Nutritionals takes a scientific approach to nutraceuticals development,
relying on the counsel of its scientific advisory board to formulate nutritional
supplements containing naturally occurring, bioactive compounds; the company
executes its product development initiatives to address nutritional deficiencies
that plague baby boomers for two reasons:
- As people age, essential nutrient levels become less bioavailable in the diet.
- As people age, the bioavailability of nutrients decreases in the body.
The company currently has a pipeline of products specially formulated with
clinically proven ingredients to maintain brain function and cellular integrity,
which are of particular interest to baby boomers. The anti-aging supplement
lines focus on memory and cognition and combating the harmful effects of free
radicals, which have been shown to lead to a variety of age-related
neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Axon Nutritionals certifies its own nutritional supplements as safe by using its
own analysis and safety assessment program; the company differentiates
itself by offering custom analytical services to other companies in the
nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals industries that need help with the FDA
approval process. Specialized regulatory medical writing services provide companies with the support they need to complete
FDA filings and make ethical marketing claims.
Related service offerings include:
- Analytical Testing Services
- Laboratory Testing Services
- Drug Development Services
- Medical Writing Services
