Acutia has announced the launch of Acutia Brain Health — a supplement that supports cognitive health and brain function while also providing antioxidant benefits and essential nutrients.

Lexington, KY - Acutia has announced the expansion of its product line with the launch of Acutia Brain Health. By combining selenium, vitamin C and omega-3 DHA, the supplement supports cognitive health and brain function while also providing antioxidant benefits and essential nutrients.

Reflecting the company's commitment to sustainability, the product's unique packaging system helps to reduce waste, while carbon emissions from shipping are offset through a partnership with Nori.

"This new offering furthers our commitment to helping people sustain their own well-being and the health of the planet we share."

The announcement of the launch was made during a virtual Q&A session at the Alltech ONE Ideas Conference. Putnam Badding shared that Acutia Brain Health is now available for shipment to most regions of the world.

Acutia's product line also includes Acutia Selenium, which provides immune system support, antioxidant benefits and essential nutrition and helps maintain healthy thyroid function.

The selenium found in Acutia Selenium and Acutia Brain Health is made from a specialized, high-quality strain of brewer's yeast to optimize the quality, absorption, safety and efficacy of the products.

Acutia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alltech, launched on March 24 when Alltech, a global leader in the animal health industry, announced that it would begin applying its more than 40 years of scientific innovation and proven nutrition expertise to human health. Acutia combines science and sustainability to provide high-quality supplements that enhance everyday nutrition and improve long-term wellness.

"Maintaining optimum brain health is imperative to our ability to live our lives to the fullest," said Dr. Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech. "Acutia Brain Health empowers people to supplement their nutritional needs today while supporting their long-term wellness for the future."

Acutia products are backed by the Alltech Life Sciences division, which conducts research on digestive health, cognitive health, brain function and cellular health.
