Prinova, a leading global supplier of ingredients and premix manufacturing solutions for the food, beverage and nutrition industries, has launched its clinically supported pre-workout ingredient CitraPeak in Europe.
The product is said to be the first 100% soluble form of hesperidin – a flavonoid that occurs naturally in citrus fruits. Its vasodilatory and pump effects make it ideal for pre-work-out applications, the company said.
In CitraPeak, hesperidin is bonded to tapioca starch, making it 100,000 times more soluble and 347 times more bioavailable than standard hesperidin, allowing rapid activation.
The benefits of CitraPeak are supported by a range of published clinical studies, the company claimed.
Research shows that CitraPeak helps increase, energy and physical output. It is over 100,000 times more soluble and 347 times more bio-available than standard hesperidin. CitraPeak activates in just 30 minutes. In a cold condition test, surface temperatures were 5.4 °F higher among a CitraPeak group than a control, with users reporting increased sweating at room temperature. CitraPeak is broken down in the body into hesperetin (of which hesperidin is a glycoside), which has been linked to increased release of nitric oxide and related pump effects. In another clinical study, CitraPeak was found to increase blood flow by 18% compared to a control., the company said.
Ongoing research is also exploring the product’s benefits in areas like V̇O2 max, recovery, mood and cognitive performance.
Already available in the US, CitraPeak will make its European debut at Vitafoods Europe (20 to 22 May 2025 in Barcelona), where it will feature in a new pre-workout beverage concept.
James Street, global marketing director at Prinova, said, “CitraPeak is a one-of-a-kind ingredient for pre-workout applications. It offers all the clinically proven benefits of standard hesperidin – like increase in thermogenic effect and release of nitric oxide. However, for the first time it delivers them in a completely soluble form, so that the vasodilatory and pump effects of hesperidin are noticeable extremely rapidly. CitraPeak is a game-changing pre-workout ingredient, and we’re delighted that its benefits are now available to active consumers in Europe.”
Sourced from citrus peels, CitraPeak is clean, near colorless, near tasteless and odorless.
