Graminex® builds its entire ingredient portfolio from a single source: the rye pollen grain, grown on its own 6,500 acres of farmland in northwest Ohio. Every Graminex® branded ingredient, Graminex® G63®, Graminex® RCT Fem™ Meno, Graminex® RCT Fem™ UI, and PollenBerry® traces back to two core extracts derived from that grain: Graminex® G60® and Graminex® NAX™.
The rye pollen grain is one of nature’s most nutritionally complete structures. It has to be as its sole biological purpose is to carry the genetic material and nutrients necessary to fertilize and sustain new plant life. That means the grain is packed with amino acids, phytosterols, fatty acids, flavonoids, carotenoids, enzymes, and vitamins. During Graminex’s proprietary solvent-free extraction process, not only is the allergenic outer shell removed, but these nutrients are separated into two distinct fractions based on their solubility: one water-soluble, one lipid-soluble. Those two fractions become Graminex® G60® and Graminex® NAX™.
Graminex® G60® — Water-Soluble Pollen Extract
Graminex® G60® is the isolated water-soluble fraction of the pollen grain, standardized to 6% amino acids. It is a flowable powder that is fully water-soluble and easy to incorporate into a wide range of dosage forms.
Graminex® G60® is rich in amino acids and flavonoids, making it particularly well-suited for:
- Prostate Health products
- Urinary tract health formulations
- Women’s health products
Also available as a clarified version: Graminex® G60WS™ — ideal for clear liquid and beverage applications.
Graminex® NAX™ — Lipid-Soluble Pollen Extract
Graminex® NAX™ is the isolated lipid-soluble fraction of the pollen grain, standardized to 7% phytosterols. It is a paste raw material particularly well-suited for softgels, functional foods, and skin care.
Graminex® NAX™ is rich in phytosterols and fatty acids, making it particularly well-suited for:
- Men’s prostate and urinary health formulations
- Women’s urinary wellness products
