EFLApharm product line is produced according to GMP guidelines

Frutarom Health BU, Switzerland, a flavour and fine ingredients company, has launched EFLApharm, a flagship proprietary product line comprising both phytopharmaceutical ingredients and pharma flavours, expanding the established EFLA brand.

The company says the EFLApharm family of products are scientifically supported, natural, pharmaceutical-grade herbal extracts. All are produced according to GMP guidelines.

Examples of herbals used in traditional medicine products under the EFLApharm brand include: Echinacea purpurea L (purple coneflower), Hedera helix L (common ivy), and Thymus vulgaris L (thyme), all of which are key ingredients in the growing field of cough and cold therapeutics.

EFLApharm products fall into the Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products (THMP) regulatory framework, and are suitable for global, pharmaceutical-quality submission, including the Drug Master File.

'Quality continues to be a major theme across the nutritional and pharmaceutical ingredients marketplace,' says Hadar Sutovsky, Global Manager of the Pharma & OTC segment at the Frutarom Health Business Unit.

'Companies throughout the supply chain are taking a closer look at the quality of their ingredients and trying to determine better ways to deliver finished products of the highest quality. With EFLApharm, we can simplify access to the market for pharmaceutical companies striving to launch safe and effective herbal medicines.'

EFLApharm products offer GMP-quality fruit flavours with long-lasting taste profiles and masking properties. The ingredients are suitable for oral care products, nutritional supplements, cough syrups and other pharmaceutical dosage forms.
