Nutraland USA Inc Introduces Somato onto the Market

Nutraland USA, Inc. has launched Somato, melatonin sourced from tomatoes onto the market.

Somato is formulated from whole, dried tomatoes and features compounds such as lycopene, an antioxidant.

“Now, with the introduction of Somato into the marketplace, Nutraland USA is able to offer the natural products industry a truly natural and sustainable, whole-food-derived melatonin from tomatoes.” Gene Bruno added
