CLEVELAND, Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AGRANA Sales & Marketing GmbH and Palmer Holland, Inc. have signed an exclusive distribution partnership, covering North America, for AGRANA's DuraBeet® natural, non-GMO Betaine Anhydrous. The product, also known as Trimethylglycine (TMG), will be marketed and sold into the Food, Beverage, Nutrition, and Supplement market segments. Palmer Holland will also represent AGRANA's BetaSol® natural glycine-betaine within the Plant Care and Agricultural markets in the USA and Canada.

DuraBeet®, manufactured in Austria from GMO-free sugar beets, offers numerous health benefits for the human body and is a particularly preferred ingredient in sports nutrition and dietary supplements. Due to its positive effect on the homocysteine metabolism, DuraBeet® is a sustainable natural upgrade to boost physical performance by optimizing strength, power, and muscle endurance. DuraBeet® has two main functions: organic osmolyte and methyl group donor. As an osmolyte, DuraBeet® protects cells, proteins, and enzymes from environmental stress. As a methyl group donor, DuraBeet® participates in the methionine cycle, particularly in the human liver and kidneys.

BetaSol® is a 100% natural biostimulant produced in Austria from GMO-free European sugar beets. BetaSol® helps plants cope with abiotic stress conditions, enhancing their natural defense mechanisms and combating oxidative stress. By promoting osmo-regulation, BetaSol® aids in water retention within plant cells, particularly under harsh weather conditions, without harming sensitive ecosystems. BetaSol® has been proven to increase photosynthetic activity and support cellular integrity - leading to increased crop yields and enhanced fruit retention.

"We are excited to expand our relationship with AGRANA to include their natural betaine anhydrous product lines, DuraBeet® and BetaSol®. Both ingredients are backed by strong clinical data and address key market trends while meeting the innovation priorities of our customers," said Brendan Michel, Palmer Holland Business Manager - Health and Nutrition. "We believe the positive attributes of both DuraBeet® and BetaSol® will help support improvements in human nutrition and agriculture, and we are excited to bring AGRANA's high-quality products to North America."
