Brought together by Kerry, the taste and nutrition company, the two branded ingredients provide natural product manufacturers the opportunity to meet growing consumer demand for recognisable, trusted, functional ingredients that offer science-based benefits.
GanedenBC30 was recently acquired by Kerry and joins the company’s health and wellness portfolio, which includes Wellmune.
GanedenBC30 and Wellmune are well-researched ingredients offering the digestive and immune-health benefits most sought-after by consumers.
Each branded ingredient emphasises Kerry’s investment in nutrition and science and builds a solid foundation for the company’s expansion into the functional-ingredient space.
Under the Kerry umbrella, both ingredients bring increased formulation, nutrition, taste and technical expertise to product manufacturers looking to create nutritional products for consumers across all life stages.
“As consumers become more interested in nutrition and how it impacts their health, they look to functional products that are safe and can offer the clinically-studied benefits that matter to them most,” said Michael Bush, Executive Director at Kerry for Wellmune and GanedenBC30.
“At this year’s Natural Products Expo West, our booth will feature both branded ingredients and highlight how natural product manufacturers can utilise these solutions to create innovative products that consumers truly value.”
The GanedenBC30 and Wellmune teams will share insights, concepts, and research updates at Expo West, including:
- insights: key market trends and consumer drivers in the functional-ingredient space, digestive- and immune-health insights, and updates on application innovations
- new research: subject matter experts will provide details on GanedenBC30 and Wellmune research, including details about the latest pre-clinical research with Wellmune, which demonstrates that it may protect intestinal-barrier function in adults who face stress
