CULT Food Science Corp (CSE:CULT, OTCQB:CULTF) said third-party testing of its cultivated pet food ingredient, Bmmune, shows postbiotic material in its cultured ingredients to be superior to plant-based sources.
The laboratory results show Bmunne is rich in polyphenols, which are usually found in fruits and other plant-based sources. Bmmune contains 1,000 mg of polyphenols per 100 gram serving, well above apples or pears, the company noted.
Polyphenols have been shown to be effective in fighting inflammation, favourable for intestinal health and reducing oxidative stress,
CULT has developed Bmmune to provide unique and lasting benefits to both dogs and cats. It is also a low-input ingredient – made without extensive usage of arable land, fresh water and carbon-emitting farmed animals or equipment.
"Forget long ingredient lists or multiple supplements: Bmmune, with its fermented and cultivated proteins, is the single ingredient which can provide all 10 amino acids and impressive gut health benefits to dogs," Joshua Errett, VP of Product at CULT, said in a statement.
"As a cultured protein, Bmmune yeast was able to be developed to meet very specific nutrient targets, providing not only an excellent amino acid profile but other non-essential beneficial nutrients. It's more than 'just' a great protein source, Bmmune is also a functional ingredient intentionally designed to promote the health of dogs consuming it" added Dr Sarah Dodd, a board-certified veterinary nutritionist who has partnered with the company.
CULT Food Science is the first publicly-traded company of its kind in North America, pioneering the investment, development, and commercialization of cellular agriculture technologies and products.
