Clearsping adds organic three-fruit recipes to popular purées range
UK-based organic fine foods brand Clearspring has added three new three-fruit recipes to its organic purée range: Apple Banana Strawberry, Apple Mango Coconut and Pear Apple Peach.
The new trio of fruit purées build on the success of Clearspring’s existing Organic Fruit Purée offering, which comes in a selection of single fruit and two-fruit blend varieties. The three new additions are a carefully curated combination of three refreshing organic fruits in each pot.

We have painstakingly worked on the recipes for each of our three new fruit purées, bringing together the unique and refreshing flavours each fruit has to offer to create a blend which truly delights your palate.
“The new three-fruit blend Organic Fruit Purées enhance our current range. They offer something new and exciting for existing fans and give new shoppers another reason to give our purées a try!” Clearspring Organic Fruit Purées are made using minimal heat, to ensure that the fruits retain their natural goodness.

Men’s sexual performance supplement is ‘gift from the gods’
Men’s health brand Idavoll has launched a new natural sexual performance supplement. Inspired by the Norse Gods who assembled on the plain of Idavoll, where they prepared for great battles, the new product was formulated after studying the hardy shrubs and plants that thrive in harsh subarctic conditions.
MD Dan Barron commented: “The Idavoll team set out to formulate the most effective natural and vegan male sexual performance supplement on the market. Having studied countless research papers and consulting with renowned practitioners, we settled on the formulation of our core ingredients, Siberian ginseng, maca root extract, L-arginine and maritime pine bark extract, intended to provide the perfect balance of improved blood circulation, stamina and vitality.
“The technical team at our contract manufacturer, Lifeplan Products Limited recommended numerous additional botanicals and minerals, including zinc to help support testosterone levels. All of that goodness is crammed into 800mg vegan capsules, and each one is blister packed for freshness to ensure customer satisfaction.”
Idavoll Food Supplements For Men (in 100% vegan capsules) retail at £19.99 and are available from PharmaPlace, the Natural Dispensary and Jumla.

The ingredients include a standardised and well-researched extract from hops.

Solabia-Algatech Launches astaxanthin gummies with Vitamin C
Israel-headquartered Solabia-Algatech has unveiled its astaxanthin whole algae complex, AstaPure Arava in a new gummy format as it broadens its portfolio of astaxanthin-based products. The company will introduce the new delivery system at SupplySide West, Las Vegas next month.
The microalgae cultivators offer an innovative, vegan, pectin-based food supplement in a move to offer a new more flavoursome medium for delivering its flagship astaxanthin ingredient drawn from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. This comes a year after the company launched itsready-to-mix AstaPure powder concept mainly targeting premix formulations for smoothies.
The plant-based gummies are currently available as a cherry flavoured chewy treat. Each gummy houses 4 mg of the whole astaxanthin algae complex and 50 mg vitamin C and contains no preservatives or synthetic colors. One to two gummies per day can deliver the recommended daily dose of the two antioxidants.
“Integrating our prized ingredient into gummy application was actually quite a smooth process,” reveals Dr. Omer Grundman, VP of R&D of Solabia-Algatech Nutrition. “Our AstaPure Arava powder was shown to perform well in a gel medium and the integrity and stability of its naturally occurring carotenoids remain intact.”
“Astaxanthin is an extremely powerful antioxidant and is one of the most potent carotenoids in nature surpassing lutein, lycopene and β-carotene” explains Liat Shemesh, Marketing Manager of Solabia-Algatech Nutrition. “AstaPure Arava contains 3% of astaxanthin along with amino acids, vitamins, minerals and polysaccharides; – attributes highly extolled and sought after by consumers looking to consume whole foods and boost and maintain vitality and wellbeing. At the same time, they are also demanding more convenient and tastier means of incorporating such ingredients into their daily routines.”
