Nutrition Life Sciences

To maximize the health benefits of your products and promote them

Health and quality are top priorities for today's consumers, presenting food and nutraceutical companies with a major challenge: scientifically demonstrating the effectiveness of their products.

You wish 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 supports you at every stage of your product development, from designing customized in vitro or in vivo studies toanalyzing bioactive compounds in biological samples, as well asdrafting scientific articles and communication materials for your clients or partners.

Optimizing the health benefits 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 ensuring the effectiveness of your products and the credibility of health claims—key factors in earning and maintaining consumer trust.

Certified services

Taking Action for Food Innovation and Health

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

Services provide expert scientific services and support to your team throughout the research and innovation process. Our services are divided into three main categories.

A multidisciplinary approach

Our close collaboration with analytical laboratories allows us not only to benefit from their expertise, but also to work hand in hand with them to develop customized methods that meet specific needs. In addition, our green chemistry team can assist us, upon request, in the synthesis of bio-based ingredients.

This multidisciplinary approach, which combines an advanced understanding of lipids, analytical expertise, natural formulation, and the synthesis of environmentally friendly ingredients, defines our holistic and innovative approach to nutritional research and innovation.
