aXichem has also received an order for aXivite from its Spanish distributor Pharmafoods (https://www.pharmafoods.es/) at a value of 13,700 Euro for development of a new consumer product to be launched later this year.

"We are pleased with the way our collaboration with Uriach evolves and are looking forward to seeing the Aquilea product with aXivite hitting the market. It is also very encouraging to see the activity in the Spanish market and to receive a new order from Pharmafoods. I believe that phenylcapsaicin's role as an active ingredient is significant and aXivite's market potential in health and wellness will continue to tell its own story", says Torsten Helsing, CEO of aXichem.

About phenylcapsaicin and aXivite
aXichem's proprietary molecule, phenylcapsaicin, combines the naturally occurring phenyl group with capsaicin, connected by a triple bond. The result is an innovative natural analog capsaicin with high purity, which in several studies has been shown to have the same health-promoting properties, as well as some unique benefits, as natural capsaicin. Phenylcapsaicin is approved under Novel Food in the EU and GRAS Food in the USA and is marketed for dietary supplements and functional foods under the brand name aXivite.
