NOVOGEN
CONSUMER PRODUCTS FACILITY
Following
an extensive review of capacity, quality, and technical capabilities ASX
listed
pharmaceutical company, Novogen Limited advises it will source its worldwide
requirements for isoflavones for use in the production of its consumer products
Promensil and Trinovin from a red clover extraction facility in
Switzerland.
With
patents surrounding Promensil and Trinovin having been granted in most major
territories there is no longer a need for Novogen to have in-house isoflavone
extraction facilities in order to protect its Intellectual property in this
area. Accordingly, it is now open to the Company to source its red clover
isoflavones from the most economic and technically advanced extraction
facilities which combine the high product standards that Novogen
requires.
As
a
result of the new supply arrangements, the existing Wyong isoflavone extraction
facility will be decommissioned and the property sold.
The
Wyong
extraction facility was opened 10 years ago and was the first red clover
extraction unit in the world. By owning and operating its own facility Novogen
ensured that its intellectual property was secure, and the quality of the
active
ingredient was of the highest standards. In the intervening decade however
the
product and manufacturing patents covering Promensil and Trinovin have been
proceeding to grant through the patent offices around the world.
Christopher
Naughton, CEO of Novogen said “ We are dedicated to providing quality products
and this development in our manufacturing systems will ensure that the
commitment continues and that consumers receive Novogen products of the highest
quality supported by clinical proof of efficacy and safety.”
“The
new
arrangements will also allow Novogen to free up cash resources and reduce
working capital through a more efficient supply chain” he said.
