Microbial actives | DSM Biocare
We focus on research and development of four natural and unique groups of microbial active ingredients targeting numerous indication areas
The benefits of microbial actives are not always possible to communicate. By combining probiotics with vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients, it is possible to add additional benefits to the dietary supplement and enhance the value for the consumer.
Vitamins and minerals are considered essential nutrientst as they perform hundreds of roles in the body. They help build up bones, heal wounds, and strengthen the immune system. They also convert food into energy, and repair cellular damage. In Europe EFSA has created a list of halth claims that can be used directly as text on the final packaging and for other comsumer communications.
life’s™DHA is the first and only commercially available plant-based omega-3 that delivers the health benefits of DHA in a single source, promoting a healthier, more sustainable future – and helping you attract a new generation of omega-3 users.
Our bodies can get vitamin D from food, supplements and sunlight. Before this can be used further by the body, it must be processed by the liver and converted into calcifediol. It’s a slow process that can easily take several months to achieve a healthy vitamin D level in the bloodstream. ampli-D® is already in calcifediol form. That means it’s immediately available to be further activated and used by the body.
Fruitflow® harnesses the anti-platelet compounds of tomato fruit, which helps maintain normal platelet aggregation, which contributes to healthy blood flow. This natural, healthy and safe ingredient can be used in food, beverage and dietary supplement applications.
FloraGLO® lutein is the most clinically researched lutein brand worldwide. Lutein is the pigment found in the retina of the human eye and scientific data demonstrates its role in healthy vision.
Cranberries have been widely studied for their role in the treatment and prevention of urinary tract infections. Cranberry was originally thought to improve urinary tract health by lowering the pH of the urinary tract, however, more recent research indicates a different mechanism of action for cranberry’s antibacterial effects.1 The American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) contains discrete flavonoids called condensed tannins, or proanthocyanidins (PACs), that exhibit unique microbial anti-adhesion properties.
