Nutrition Life Sciences

To optimize and communicate the health impact of your products

Health and quality are at the heart of contemporary consumers' concerns, presenting food and nutraceutical companies with a major challenge: to scientifically demonstrate the efficacy of their products.

You would like to :

• study the bioavailability of formulated compounds/nutrients,
  
• develop scientific arguments to promote the health benefits of your ingredients or formulations,
• assess the nutritional value of your products,
• benefit from an analytical service tailored to your clinical study.

Our Nutrition Life Sciences team will support you at every stage of your product development, from the design of customized in vitro or in vivo studies to theanalysis of bioactive compounds in biological samples, and theproduction of scientific articles and communication materials for your customers or partners.

Optimizing the health impact of your products and effectively communicating their benefits requires a rigorous scientific approach.

By studying bioavailability, developing sound scientific arguments, assessing nutritional value and benefiting from appropriate analytical services, you can not only improve the quality of your products, but also strengthen their market positioning.

Investment in research and development is essential to guarantee the efficacy of your products and the credibility of health claims, key elements in gaining and maintaining consumer confidence.

Acting for Food Innovation and Health

We study the metabolic fate of lipid compounds, taking into account nutritional status and pathological conditions. The enlightening results of our research can guide the development of products aimed at guaranteeing consumer health. This in-depth understanding of lipids enables us to create innovative, highly functional formulations in conjunction with a dedicated team at our site.

We provide services and expert scientific support for your team throughout the research and innovation process. Our services are divided into 3 main themes at Services.

A multidisciplinary approach

Our close collaboration with analytical laboratories enables us not only to benefit from their expertise, but also to work hand in hand to develop tailor-made methods to meet specific needs. What's more, our green chemistry team can intervene at our request in the synthesis of biobased ingredients.

This multi-disciplinary approach, combining advanced understanding of lipids, analytical expertise, natural formulation activity and the synthesis of environmentally-friendly ingredients, defines our holistic and innovative approach to nutritional research and innovation.
