    Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements

    The term "nutraceutical" combines the words "nutrition" and "pharmaceutical". Nutraceutical products are foods meant to provide medical benefits. They contain ingredients that enhance the product's nutritional value and the consumer's health.

    Nowadays claims like “probiotic," “source of vitamin” and “an excellent source of fiber” are crucial for consumers to consider and purchase a product. Brenntag Food & Nutrition offers an immense variety of dietary supplements, functional foods and beverages, and medical foods to satisfy consumer demands.

    Focus on a balanced diet

    Those who want their vitamins and mineral nutrients in a more concentrated form will reach for special food supplements. Vitamin preparations supply a highly dosed intake and come as a powder or capsule. Many of these nutraceuticals target certain groups based on age, gender, and lifestyle choices.

    When it comes to increasing stamina, gaining muscle, or living a healthier lifestyle, sports nutrition and additives are desired by numerous consumers. Sports nutrition is crucial before and after exercising, as people who want to boost their performance for increased health and wellness benefits.

    Consumers in this market pay special attention to the ingredients of a snack which can come in different dosage forms such as bars, liquids, powders, gels, capsules, or tablets.

    • Dietary Supplements

      Many people take a nutraceutical every day. Dietary supplements such as multivitamins
      and botanicals have an isolated form of a nutrient found in food. The consumer takes
      them as a pill or liquid.

    • Functional Foods and Beverages

      Foods with nutrients added through processing or fermentation are functional foods. The
      food industry adds nutrients to numerous products on the market.

    • Medical Foods

      Patients with severe malnutrition or the inability to eat regular food need medical food.
      Medical food contains concentrated nutrients that the doctor administers through a
      feeding tube.
