Rosavel® Rosemarinic Acid

A natural antioxidant found in Rosemary

Rosmarinic acid is a naturally occurring polyphenol in the rosemary plant. Rosmarinic acid serves as an ideal alternative to synthetic antioxidants used in food preservation due to its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Blue California’s 98% high-purity Rosavel® rosmarinic acid does not possess the intense color or flavor associated with rosemary.

Blue California’s Rosavel® Rosemarinic Acid is:
  • Not synthetic. Made by fermentation through a proprietary bioconversion process, delivering a clean, pure, cost-effective supply of this beneficial ingredient.

Vitamin K2 (MK4 and MK7)

An essential vitamin supporting heart and bone health*

Vitamin K is required for the activation of several vitamin K-dependent proteins, including ones that play a role in bone metabolism. Emerging data also suggests a role for vitamin K in heart health. In other words, it supports the calcification of bones and helps prevent the calcification of blood vessels and kidneys.*

Vitamin K2 (MK4) is highly bioactive and studies have used the MK-4 form with positive results. One systematic review of randomized controlled studies on vitamin K1 & K2 found that vitamin K2 supplementation as MK-4 significantly reduced the risk of bone fractures while, both K1 & K2 were associated with increased bone mineral density.* For increased bioavailability, we also now offer MK-7.

Blue California’s Vitamin K2 (MK-4) is:
  • Non-GMO
  • Not synthetic. Made by fermentation through a proprietary technology and manufacturing process.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

Create heart smart formulations with CoQ10

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant used by cells in your body for proper function and maintenance. The highest levels are found in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas. Studies have shown it may support cardiovascular health, offers healthy aging support, and is vital for the production of energy used by cells.*

Blue California’s CoQ10 is:
  • Ideal for supplement, food, beverage, and cosmetic applications
