Carthage, MO — Stratum Nutrition (‘Stratum’), a leading supplier of science-backed, high-quality ingredients for human and pet health, is proud to announce an agreement with Sibelius Natural Products (‘Sibelius’) for the exclusive distribution of Stratum sage extract for cognitive health and NEM®, the most clinically researched eggshell membrane for joint health, to the United Kingdom.

“Stratum is thrilled to partner with Sibelius for distribution of NEM® and sage in the UK market,” Chris Haynes, Senior Director of Global Sales at Stratum, said. “As many will recall, Stratum just completed a purchase of Sibelius™:Sage ingredient and now we get to continue utilizing their expertise in the UK market. We are looking forward to working with Sibelius and the awesome team there.”

NEM® eggshell membrane is derived from the inner membrane of chicken eggshells, a natural source of key nutrients like collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid. These compounds work synergistically to support joint health, making NEM® an ideal choice for dietary supplements aimed at promoting joint support and mobility.

The extensive research on NEM® highlights its position as a leader in the joint health category, providing formulators and consumers alike with a trusted, scientifically validated ingredient.

Stratum sage extract is a unique Salvia officinalis (sage) extract that helps support a healthy memory. 

The extract is standardized to high levels of rosmarinic acid, the bioactive compound responsible for many of sage’s cognitive benefits. It is 100% traceable and non-GMO, cultivated using specific farming protocols, conditions, and harvesting methods that ensure a consistent and reliable standardized ingredient.

“We are pleased to announce our partnership with Stratum as the UK distributor for sage and their flagship ingredient, NEM®, under Oxford Natural Products,” adds Peter Leyland, CEO of Sibelius. “Following the successful sale of Sibelius™:Sage to Stratum earlier this year, we are excited to collaborate with them as we both work towards meeting consumers' needs with natural and clinically proven ingredients.
