Launch of human health solutions to address industry challenges and consumer wishes

Chondractiv^™ Move is suitable for food supplements, functional foods, and beverages, targeting 35+consumers who look for solutions to support their joints and maintain their mobility.

Cranpure^™ M: A women health solution to support urinary health at a daily dose of 300mg. Gently processed from the high-PAC Mullica Queen^® variety, this cranberry powder contains high levels of proanthocyanidins (PACs) and offers a high in vitro anti-adhesion efficacy at a competitive price.

Acerowell^™: The solution can contribute to healthy aging by supporting metabolic health and skin anti-aging from within.

In addition, six forward-thinking product concepts will showcase how Symrise combines health actives with great taste. “We have designed our concepts to help meet evolving consumer demands in trending formats like soft chews or shots. By leveraging proprietary tools like Symvision^™ AI, Symrise can decode emerging flavor, taste, and claim trends with precision. In addition, the ConceptScan^™ platform can validate these concepts directly with consumers — ensuring they deliver both health benefits and a great sensory experience” says Clémence Boutin, Application Manager Health EMEA, Symrise Food & Beverage.

Probi strengthens Symrise’s health portfolio with clinically proven biotic solutions

The upcoming integration of Probi, a leading provider of biotic solutions, into the Symrise family marks a key milestone in Symrise’s “One Care” journey. Its strong scientific heritage and portfolio of clinically proven biotic solutions promote health and well-being. With that, it perfectly complements and strengthens the Symrise offer. At Vitafoods, Probi will introduce two powerful biotic solutions:
