​LIVADUR®, AlzChem's first creatine consumer product for the 55+ target group, has been available in selected pharmacies in Germany since March 2019.

In the VitaPlus pharmacies and the pharmacies with screens from the ApoVid GmbH, LIVADUR® was positioned in the front row as the featured product for the month. Trained specialists, POS material and a video clip were included in the promotional activities to drive sales.

The information gained from these initial collaborations will be instrumental in a national expansion of the distribution in the next stage.

AlzChem launches a new development in crop protection additives. With Break-Thru SP 133 we are offering for the first time an additive, which can also be used in organic farming. The new additive reduces the surface tension of spray mixtures for crop protection and enhances adhesion of the spray coating and penetration of active ingredients into the plant. It also leads during spraying to the formation of larger drops and thereby reduces the drift of fine droplets.

Established for many years, AlzChem has paid another visit to India on the occasion of ChemSpec India 2016. Prior to the show, we experienced the diversity of the country and the enormous distances required to meet customers locally. We supported our local partner Chemet at their booth in many meetings focused particularly around cyanamide, dicyandiamide and nitrile derivatives. Since Indian companies produce many generic versions of world leading drugs, it was no surprise that we again could bag purchase orders into our luggage.

Following an application of AlzChem AG for authorization of a health claim for creatine the respective EFSA Panel (European Food Safety Authority) delivered a positive opinion on the effect of creatine: “Daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over the age of 55”.
