Cyvex Cultivates International Resources; Assures Quality
In 1984, widely respected food scientist Gilbert Gluck saw a tremendous new market just opening up. While in Toronto, Canada, he launched Cyvex Nutrition, a company that was devoted exclusively to ingredients of natural origin for the manufacture of dietary supplements. Gluck’s mission and vision was to supply dietary supplement marketers with standardized, branded ingredients to ensure superior and reliable quality, potency and safety. Throughout Gluck’s career, he has become one of the industry’s most revered pioneers in launching versatile and effective nutraceutical ingredients that consumers trust.
Cyvex moved to Irvine, CA in 1989, to better serve the burgeoning US dietary supplement industry. Gluck continued to cultivate his international sources of pharmaceutical-grade raw materials and global leaders in research and development of novel compounds. As one example, in 1998, Cyvex Inc. was named the exclusive North American sales and marketing partner for Gedeon Richter’s BioVinca, the purest vinpocetine available, and the source material used for several landmark studies demonstrating efficacy for cognitive function and brain health.
Today, Cyvex continues to innovate with the recent launch of Chirositol d-chiro-inositol and VitaTropic, a potent, wholesome antioxidant superfruit compound. Cyvex Nutrition also launched the latest version of its Antioxidant Wheel, which concisely presents the company’s portfolio of antioxidants in a colorful and easy-to-use manner.
