Novus Nutrition Brands

Novus Nutrition Brands was a U.S. nutrition and animal-health operating company and subsidiary of Novus International focused on specialty nutrition products rather than prescription therapeutics. The business historically housed brands including Stratum Nutrition, which supplied branded nutraceutical ingredients for human and pet health, and Arenus, which marketed equine and companion-animal supplements. Publicly available information indicates the company supported commercial-stage products in dietary supplements and animal wellness, including ingredient R&D and application development. Novus Nutrition Brands appears to have divested Stratum Nutrition-related assets over time, but the legal entity itself still appears in state business records. It is best characterized as a commercial nutrition/wellness company with links to animal health and nutraceutical ingredients, not a drug-development biotech or pharma company.
