Vanizem, calm and sleep supplement by Nektium to be showcased at Vitafoods Europe 2025

Nektium announced in a press release that it will be showcasing its new ingredient called Vanizem, a fast-acting botanical supplement for sleep support and stress relief, at Vitafoods Europe, taking place in Barcelona, Spain between May 20-22.

Market research shows that at least half of consumers experience high levels of stress and that all age groups find that improving sleep health is a key priority.¹ Between 2020 to 2024, data showed that Europe experienced a 17% increase for botanical ingredients and sleep supplements.²

At this year’s Vitafoods Europe, Vanizem has been named a finalist in the Vitafoods 2025 awards. Attendees at the conference will be able to sample Vanizem in a capsule formation, as well as learn more about Zynamite and sample the ingredient in lime-flavored RTD drinks, gummies, and powder sticks. Also at the event, on May 20, 2025, at 3:30pm in the New Ingredients Theater, Nektium will be hosting a talk focused on the supplements’ mechanism of action.

Zynamite is produced from Mangifera indica extract and has demonstrated effectiveness in more than 10 clinical studies. The most recent study³, has shown that the water-soluble supplement has the potential to “enhance cognitive performance in students.”

Another ingredient that will be shown at Vitafoods Europe 2025 is Rhodiolife, a Rhodiola rosea extract. The press release mentioned that the supplement may help the body adapt to stress, as well as balance, mood, and physical performance. The supplement will be offered in gummy form but can also be utilized in capsules, drinks, and food.

Nektium CEO Miguel Jimenez mentioned in the press release, “Today’s consumers want natural solutions that can help them thrive day to day – whether through stress management and better sleep or by supporting mental and physical energy. We’re committed to ensuring they have access to high-quality botanical extracts supported by peer-reviewed studies demonstrating their efficacy. Our ingredients are perfectly placed to deliver innovative and convenient solutions that meet evolving market demands.”
