An ancient remedy improved by modern science

Zembrin is a novel, patented, clinically studied, and commercially successful extract of the South African succulent plant Sceletium tortuosum. Sceletium has been used as a mood enhancer and stress reliever by the Khoi-San of South Africa, referred to as the world’s first people, with a culture that stretches back over 20,000 years. Zembrin has an extensive and forward-thinking clinical science program and has been the subject of a broad range of pre-clinical work, a full array of safety and toxicity evaluations and five gold standard clinical trials published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Studies have shown that a 25 mg per day dose of Zembrin can reduce anxiety-related activity within two hours of administration.*

A sustainable, socially responsible ingredient

Sceletium tortuosum is a protected species in Africa and wild harvesting is not sustainable for commercial products. Zembrin innovator, HG&H Pharmaceuticals employs a seed-to-shelf ingredient management program with its specially cultivated Sceletium tortuosum raw materials. The company is committed to using only cultivated plant material to avoid depleting threatened wild plant stocks and to ensure consistent product quality.

According to Steve Fink, Vice President of Marketing for PLT Health solutions, NOW’s choice of Zembrin shows the company is committed to improving people’s health in socially conscious way. “Zembrin sits at the nexus of traditional ethnobotany, modern science, sustainability, and social responsibility and is a model of how a traditional plant can be transformed into a modern nutraceutical ingredient to help people live happier, healthier lives,” he said. “We’re excited to partner with NOW and for the help this product will bring to their customers,” he added.
