Global Prebiotics Association (GPA) Executive Director, Len Monheit, talks to Loula Merkel, CEO of COMET, about their involvement in the prebiotic category, their ingredient, Arrabina®, and what the future hold for COMET and the company.

In October, COMET gained a NutraStrong™ Prebiotic Verification for their prebiotic dietary fiber, Arrabina®. The certification allows COMET customers to expedite a product’s prebiotic-verified certification by NutraStrong™ when formulations contain at least 3.6 grams of Arrabina® per serving.

COMET VISION:

The vast majority (90%) of Americans are falling short of their dietary fiber needs despite growing awareness of its many health benefits. Food manufacturers have yet to find the perfect fiber ingredient – one that is natural, functional, and versatile – to fill the 2-million-ton annual fiber gap in the US alone.

Meanwhile, nature’s best dietary fiber, arabinoxylan, has laid dormant in plant materials left behind and processed out of our modern food system. Arabinoxylan is an exceptional soluble dietary fiber with clinically proven health benefits and superior tolerance in the gut.

Only COMET has the patented upcycling technology needed to unlock arabinoxylan’s full potential and make it available in our proprietary line of ARRABINA dietary fibers. ARRABINA’s versatility makes it easy to add the clinically proven benefits of arabinoxylan to ANY food/beverage/supplement application and help close the fiber gap. We exist to provide the best possible powerful prebiotics for your brand and product line.
