GUELPH, Ontario (July 24, 2019) – Olistica Life Sciences Group (Olistica), a global health product company, has chosen Nutrasource Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Services (Nutrasource), a full-service contract research organization (CRO), as their global regulatory and clinical scientific solutions provider for their cutting-edge product development within the kratom and cannabidiol (CBD) categories.
Both plant-sourced ingredients have unique pharmacological properties and require very nuanced scientific programs in order to be developed appropriately for regulatory compliance, authorization and approval. These ingredient categories are both highly stigmatized and controversial in both the scientific and regulatory domains. There are significant concerns about usage and safety globally, however Olistica is committed to showcasing the extensive therapeutic potential that these ingredients possess.
“Nutrasource applauds Olistica for developing these products at the appropriate level of diligence and within the correct regulatory pathways with an evidence-based approach,” says William Rowe, President and CEO of Nutrasource. “Kratom has huge therapeutic potential for various ailments, specifically in the area of opioid withdrawal, and as a result, could have huge positive social impact on the major issue of opioid dependence.”
“Olistica Life Sciences Group is excited to share its vision for the revitalization of plant-based therapeutics for use in modern medicine with Nutrasource,” states Mark Jennings, Chief Operating Officer at Olistica, “We are adamant about improving access to safe and efficacious botanicals that have massive opportunity to improve the health, well-being and quality of life for consumers globally.”
Botanicals, such as kratom, exist at the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical interface, and require rigorous scientific methods to be taken through the product development process from pharmacokinetics to commercialization. Olistica is determined to remain on the cutting-edge of innovation by leveraging Nutrasource’s industry-leading understanding of how to take botanicals through the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical pathways from concept to claim.
