DSM Nutritional Products - Vitamins, Carotenoids and Nutraceuticals

DSM Nutritional Products is a global supplier of vitamins, carotenoids and other fine chemicals to the food, feed, health and cosmetics industries.

VITAMINS AND CAROTENOIDS FOR DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS

Beverages: soft and functional drinks represent one of the largest end-users for the HNH business unit: carotenoids (beta-carotene) are used for coloring, vitamins are used to improve the nutritional value, and citric acid provides the correct acidity.

Food: cereal manufacturers use vitamins and other nutritional ingredients to fortify their products. Vitamins are also essential ingredients of infant food. Other users are dairy and margarine producers as well as functional food or processed food producers.

Dietary supplements: our vitamins are used in dietary supplements, OTCs and pharmaceuticals, in various forms like tablets or capsules, either alone or as a blend of active ingredients. Carotenoids are used for colouring as well as for the additional health benefit they can provide.

VITAMINS

DSM Nutritional Products can supply the complete range of vitamins for all possible uses. DSM vitamins are available in many forms, depending on the vitamin and application: crystalline, as oil, with a protective coating or in a protective matrix as a powder.

CAROTENOIDS

Carotenoids are the pigments that give color to egg yolks, tomatoes, fungi, leaves, fruits, and flowers. They also occur in crustaceans, certain fish species, feathers and insects. They cannot be made in the body and must be obtained in the diet. DSM’s carotenoids are used for food coloration and fortification, as well as in dietary supplements.

HIDROX® is produced from fresh, organically grown olives. HIDROX® contains Olive Polyphenols, predominantly Hydroxytyrosol, an exceptionally potent antioxidant. The research on health joint shows that HIDROX® may help reduce inflammation. It is also suitable for application in dietary supplements.

ROPUFA® is a range of PUFAs (omega 3 and 6) in the form of oils, powders and emulsions which are highly refined, exceptionally stable and have a neutral taste and odour.

TEAVIGO® is the active component of green tea in pure form with manifold health benefits. In opposite to conventional tea extracts TEAVIGO® does not significantly alter taste and appearance of foods and thus can be easily used in a large range of foods or supplements.

CAROCARE® is a natural β-Carotene obtained by fermentation process.

OPTISHARP® is the brand name of DSM’s Zeaxanthin, a carotenoid that accumulates in the eye to protect the macula from damaging blue light. OPTISHARP® together with DSM’s lutein, is beneficial for eye health and may help to reduce the risk of AMD and cataracts.

ACTILEASE® describes the good bioavailability of our products. As consumer awareness about bioavailability grows, so does the need for more bioavailable ingredients and product forms.

INSUVITAL™ is a safe, natural, extensively hydrolyzed casein consisting of bioactive peptides which helps the body to deal with bloodsugar fluctuations. It can be used in functional foods and powder sachets.
