VISTA, Cali.—Hosoda Nutritional and B&D Nutritional Ingredients signed a multi-year distribution agreement providing exclusive rights for the latter to market and sell the former’s Melinjo resveratrol in the U.S. market.

“This is a new beginning for our business and an important moment in Hosoda’s history," Hosoda CEO Shinya Hosoda said. “It represents the culmination of our transformation to the United States, during which we responsibly sourced, secured, manufactured and grew the Melinjo Dimer Resveratrol market in Japan, and now have carefully selected B&D for our next wave of growth."

Melinjo Dimer Resveratrol is an unaltered resveratrol source extracted from melinjo tree sees, which can bring health effects like longer life expectancy, increases stamina, lowering blood sugar, and reducing visceral fat.
