Elevate product innovation

Beyond ingredients, we’re passionate about innovating to inspire your next breakthrough product. Just as consumer and patient needs are constantly changing, we’re always seeking out new approaches to deliver high-quality solutions worldwide – in smarter, safer, more efficient and sustainable ways. In fact, we take product innovation to the next level with our advanced global capabilities, market-leading research platforms, formulation technologies and strategic partnerships.  

Think proprietary, trends-led innovations, like next-generation vitamins in novel formats that set new standards for bioavailability and sustainability. Or algal-sourced omega-3s that maximize health benefits and potency, while reducing environmental impact. Together, we can think bigger and meet your consumers’ and patients’ highest health ambitions.
