The Nutrition and Nutraceutical area is a growing and diverse group and one that is becoming more popular and consumer accessible daily as people look for ways to be and eat more healthy.
Nutrition (Food) are those foods which help in growth, maintenance, health, reproduction and the prevention of disease. These products include health powder mixes and sports drinks as well as foods which help and provide dietary support, or additional nutrition, for specific needs, such as the provision of additional vitamins or protein or fiber, for example.
Nutraceuticals promote health and well being and also help to prevent and treat disease. The products are typically in tablet form and are taken as daily or weekly supplements or vitamins. The ingredients used in this product group would potentially utilize all of the ingredients and systems in our portfolio, including colors to obtain the proper appearance, shade and appeal, flavors for the ideal taste, as well as flavor maskers to possibly help to cover some of the off-notes coming from one or more of the ingredients in the formulation.
Botanicals, our range of science-based, plant derived ingredients, are often used to provide additional key formulation attributes or active ingredients.
