FrieslandCampina Ingredients, a supplier specializing in proteins and probiotics, will return to Vitafoods Europe to showcase its application expertise with nutraceutical product concepts for adults and kids.
The company will showcase Biotis Lactoferrin chewables, fast-melts, and functional beverages for beauty from within formulations, along with dietary supplement formats that can enhance efficacy, convenience, and consumer experience.
Biotis Lactoferrin for Beauty from Within
FrieslandCampina will showcase how Biotis Lactoferrin can help brands tap into skin health with applications designed to offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, as well as stimulation of skin regeneration.
The ingredient is suitable for a wide range of dosage formats like chewables, capsules, fast-melts, and functional beverages. Its full potential will also be on display at the New Product Zone.
Applications for Children’s Health
FrieslandCampina Ingredients will sponsor its Step Up Nutrition portfolio of solutions for children ages 3 and up. The platform is designed to support growth and development, immune function, cognitive function, mental health, and gut health. The company’s portfolio is suitable for a range of applications, ranging from gummies to functional drinks, creating opportunities for brands to tap into the children’s nutrition market with trending, convenient formats. GOS-enriched gummies, for instance, provide support for mineral absorption and gut health, helping kids to grow healthily while encouraging repeat usage.
Formulation Freedom
FrieslandCampina has a host of ingredients with formulation flexibility. The company’s Biotis DHA Flex Powder is an algae-derived omega-3 ingredient with a neutral sensory profile and exceptional stability and solubility, with versatility in formulation options such as fast-melts for cognitive support. Biotis GOS-OP High Purity, a highly concentrated galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS), is driving formulation innovation in the prebiotics space. This GOS ingredient is typically 94% pure, significantly higher than the typical range for other prebiotics currently available, enabling efficacy at doses as low as two grams, making it suitable for gummy applications.
The company will also highlight its portfolio of whey, caseinate and plant-based proteins – crafted to help brands meet the surging demand for high-quality protein solutions, including the growing interest in satiety-supporting GLP-1 companion products.
Sophie Zillinger Molenaar, global marketing lead, will dive into the latest supplement format trends in her talk; “Innovation without compromise: standing out in a sea of supplements”, which will take place on May 21, 4:00-4:25pm CEST at the New Ingredients Theater.
“At FrieslandCampina Ingredients, we always start with the end consumer in mind and keep them at the heart of everything we do,” said Vicky Davies, global marketing director of performance, active, and medical nutrition. “That’s why we continuously innovate and refine our protein, dietary supplement and Biotis portfolio to help our partners meet the needs of more consumers. With our deep application and production expertise, our talented team can support new product development across various formats – from chewables to gummies, fast melts, RTDs and more – delivering convenience, efficacy and consumer appeal.”
