Nutraland USA, a pioneer in plant-based, science-based nutritional ingredients, today announced that its signature sleep ingredient, Somato Tomato Fruit Extract, has officially achieved Non-GMO Project Verified (NGPV) status.
The NGPV certification is North America’s most rigorous third-party verification program for GMO avoidance, requiring a comprehensive review of ingredient sourcing, manufacturing facilities, documentation, and ongoing compliance. Verification for Somato was completed through FoodChain ID, the longest-serving technical administrator for the Non-GMO Project.
“Achieving NGPV status for Somato reflects our commitment to transparency, responsible ingredient development, and meeting the clean-label priorities of today’s formulators and consumers,” said Sanying Xu, President of Nutraland USA. “Having the non-GMO claim rigorously vetted by FoodChain ID, a recognized leader in supply chain transparency, provides our customers with the highest level of confidence and a clear path to consumer trust.”
Somato, which helped participants fall asleep 33% faster in a recent pilot study, is a breakthrough whole-food derived ingredient, providing the world’s first phytomelatonin sourced naturally and exclusively from the tomato fruit. As the market increasingly seeks natural, clean alternatives, NGPV certification solidifies Somato as a premium, non-synthetic, non-GMO option for sleep and calming supplements, aligning with Nutraland’s focus on scientifically backed and independently verified, nature-derived solutions.
