Sustainability & Social Responsibility Through Products
CLEANMOOD® Organic 5-HTP
CLEANMOOD® Organic 5-HTP emphasizes sustainability by using certified organic harvesting methods in Ghana, ensuring clean water, soil, and no pesticides are used. We extract 5-HTP with water instead of harmful solvents, preserving the ingredient’s purity.
To protect natural resources, we limit our annual harvest to less than 70% of the organic area’s total output. This approach supports the health of the ecosystem and helps the Griffonia simplicifolia plants regenerate, benefiting the local community.
UPCYCLED Bovine Collagen
UPCYCLED certified Bovine Collagen is made from high-quality collagen pieces that are typically discarded in the meat industry. By utilizing these by-products, this certification promotes waste reduction and encourages sustainable practices.
MSC Marine Collagen
MSC certified Marine Collagen is sourced from sustainably managed fisheries that practice responsible fishing methods. This certification ensures that the fish are harvested from controlled environments, protecting marine ecosystems and supporting sustainable fishing practices.
YESTEIN®
Yeast Protein
YESTEIN® Yeast Protein operates within a circular economy model where beet molasses is the main nutrient source for yeast cultivation. The wastewater produced during this process is UPCYCLED as organic fertilizer for crop cultivation. This strategy not only yields high-quality, sustainable vegan protein for various products but also enhances resource efficiency and minimizes waste, contributing to a circular economy.
Success Story: Empowering Local Farmers
David, a local Ghanaian farmer, exemplifies the positive impact of NURA’s initiatives. Formerly earning $2 a day from corn farming, David’s income increased significantly after becoming an organic collector for NURA. This change enabled him to support his children’s education, with his youngest child graduating from the University of Ghana.
By fostering sustainability through both environmental practices and community support, NURA aims to create lasting solutions that benefit both the planet and its people.
