Vancouver, B.C. - TheNewswire - March 17, 2022  –  Solarvest BioEnergy Inc. (“Solarvest", or the "Company") (TSXV:SVS), (“Solarvest” or the “Company”), announces that it has been granted a patent in Japan.  The intellectual property protection concentrates on the production of algal biomass, algal cell cultures, lipid compounds, and compositions thereof, including fatty acids, carotenoids, and fat-soluble vitamins.  This patent adds additional strength to the Company’s existing patent portfolio as it commercializes its line of organic Omega-3 products.  

According to the Principal Company survey “According to the survey, 35.1% of Japanese consumers “currently use” supplements. This is higher among women and the elderly population, with about 45% of women above 50 using supplements.  The professional community in Asia is starting to take many of these products to help with weight management and nutritional deficiencies that come with their less active lifestyles.”

“The marketplace is begging for nutritional supplements that meet the needs of these people. Companies like GNC and Nature Made are just starting to tap the Far East Asian market and bring products such as probiotics, multivitamins, DHA, and fish oil”.*

After its initial product launch and further industry discussions, the Company has focused on supplying unique “clean label” products to satisfy the demand for premium plant-based, organic Omega-3 health products.  In addition, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Eversea has accelerated efforts to offer organic marketing companies and organic-oriented retailers house-branded products (often termed “white label”) based on our unique bioavailable Omega-3 ingredient. Channel marketing feedback indicates that there is extensive market demand for the product’s unique characteristics, particularly among consumers focused on organic and vegan diets.  The Company’s patented Omega-3 active ingredient has obtained FDA NDI (New Dietary Ingredient) certification and is USDA and EU Organic Certified.
