VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. (BABY) (BABYF) (0YL.F) (“Else” or the “Company”) the Plant-Based baby, toddler and children nutrition company, is pleased to announce that it has concluded a successful preclinical study on its Plant-Based infant formula, on the pathway to bring its formulation to market

This marks a key first step on the path with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as with other regulatory authorities, to demonstrate safety and nutrient bioavailability of the Else infant formula. The study results demonstrated proper growth similar to a dairy-based infant formula, in a neonatal preclinical model.

“This is a massive step forward for the Company,” said Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO & Co-Founder of Else Nutrition. “Since inception, our vision has been to fill this major gap in the market, and to bring a clean label whole-food, plant-based, soy-free infant formula to millions of families worldwide. These results mark further validation of our formulation, as we continue to push ahead in seeking FDA approval.”

The full study results will be presented at an international scientific conference on pediatric nutrition and growth in March 2022.
